Formula

The formula to calculate the Kanban Loop Size (K) is:

\[ K = (D \times L) + S \]

Where:

Example

Let's say the daily demand (D) is 100 units, the lead time (L) is 5 days, and the safety stock (S) is 50 units. Using the formula:

\[ K = (100 \times 5) + 50 = 550 \]

So, the Kanban Loop Size (K) is 550 units.
