Page guide

Estimate whole replenishment cards from average daily demand, lead time, a chosen buffer and container size.

How to use Kanban card calculator
  1. Enter average daily demand and the full replenishment lead time using the same day basis.
  2. Choose a safety allowance and units per container.
  3. Calculate whole cards and the inventory they cover, then download the complete report.

Useful next steps

Round up to complete containers

Multiply demand by lead time and one plus the chosen safety allowance, then divide by container size and round upward. Demand of 12.5 units per day, 2.4 days lead time and 10% allowance requires 33 units. With eight units per container, that is five cards covering 40 units.

The buffer is an assumption

The tool does not calculate a statistical service level or model variable demand and supply. Include the full return-and-replenishment cycle in lead time. Recheck the assumptions when the process changes.
