Hickock Electric Motors uses a Kanban system to make motors for several garage door companies in the west-central United States. The daily demand for motor housings used in manufacturing is 100 units. The average waiting time for a container of parts is 0.2 day. The processing time for a container of housings is 0.1 day, and a container holds 5 housings. If Jones wishes to use a 10% policy variable, how many containers are needed? Recall the Kanban formula is given as: kanban.png In the space provided, rewrite the equation with each of the values for the variables shown, then perform the calculation and clearly state the number of containers required. (2 points for the correct answer and 8 points for correct equation setup.)
