    Explanation:

    Daily demand (d) = 1700 units

    Lead time (L) = 2days

    Demand during lead time = d x L = 1700x2 = 3400

    Safety stock = 2 days

    Safety stock level = d x 2 = 1700x2 = 3400 units

    Container size = 350 units

    Kanban needed = (demand during lead time + Safety stock level) / container size

    = (3400+3400) / 350

    = 19.4 or rounded to 19 containers
