Answer:

19

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
