Number of Kanban Card Sets k = Expected demand during lead time + Safety Stock Size of container k = D L ( 1 + S ) C k = Number of kanban card sets (a set is a card) D = Average number of units demanded over some time period L = Lead time to replenish an order (same units of time as demand) S = Safety stock expressed as a percentage of demand during lead time C = Container size
