Q

What is the equation for inventory replenishment levels?

A

Rhythm demand (rhythm time * avg demand) + SS stock demand variability (z*std dev of demand * sqrt repT)+ safety stock supply variability ( z * std dev of supply * sqrt of Rept) + other cycle time demand ( other cycle time * average demand)

17
Q

What is the equation for kanban?

A

Repd ( replenishment time * avg demand)+ safety stock demand variability (Z x STDdx Sqrt(RepT) + safety stock variability ( x STDs x Sqrt(RepT)

18
Q

What are the out of control situations?

A

if 2/3 sucessive points fall in the area beyond 2 standard deviations from the mean either above or below
if 4/5 successive points fall in the area that is beyond one standard deviation from the mean, either above or below
if there is a run of 6 or more points that are all either succesviley higher or lower
if 8 or more points fall on either side of the mean
if 15 points in a row fall within the area on either side of the mean that is one standard deviation from the mean
