Definition

The safety factor is used to cater for fluctuations in requirements. It is multiplied by the result of the kanban calculation formula.

The formulas for the kanban calculation are as follows:

Number of kanbans = (( RT * AC) / CONT) * SF + C

Quantity per kanban = ((RT * AC) / (AK-C) * SF

Key to abbreviations: AK: Number of kanbans

CONT: Quantity per kanban

RT: Replenishment lead time per kanban

AC: Consumption per unit of time

SF: Safety factor (default value 1)

C: Constant (default value 1)
