following:
the workshop operates 8 hours a day,
the chain consumes 2,000 subsets per day,
It takes 56 minutes to set up the workshop machine and 5 seconds to produce a part.
the batch size is 500 pieces,
the capacity of the containers is 50 pieces,
The handling of a container from one terminal to another takes 16 minutes.
The ticket collection takes place every 52 minutes.
The average waiting time for upstream scheduling can be estimated at 36 minutes.
In order to take into account the various uncertainties that may affect production, we will retain for
the set of calculations a safety factor of 20%.
Question 1: Based on all this information, calculate the number of Kanban labels.

Question 2: Under unchanged production conditions, what happens if we decide to use
a label name lower than the one defined in the previous question? Justify your answer.
Question 3: The implementation of the SMED method has reduced setup time by four times.
