Olivia has had enough of the theoretical equations and rejects the higher math needed to calculate the number of kanbans for her system. One approach that some organizations take in lieu of the kanban equation is to:
A)start with one kanban and operate as fast as they can with the one, before adding more kanbans to bring them up to speed.
B)start with too many kanbans and gradually remove them until a problem arises.
C)fully load their system with inventory and produce until they cannot build product.
D)eliminate all inventory from the system and add material and parts until they can fill a customer order.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Starting with too many kanbans and gradually removing them until a problem arises is a practical approach for organizations that prefer not to use complex mathematical equations to determine the exact number of kanbans needed. This method allows for real-world adjustments based on actual performance and issues encountered.
