Explanation:

Given that

Annual Demand = 10 bottles in 1 minute

Leading time = 60 minute

percentage of Safety stock = 0.2

Container size = 130 bottles

The computation of the number of kanban cards is given below:-

= Annual demand * Leading time (1 + percentage of safety stock) : Container size

= 10 * 60 (1 + 0.2) : 130

= 600 (1.2) : 130

= 5.538

So, the round-up the next whole number is 6
