Pull Loop Size

The number of Kanban signals that can be active for a single part, excluding emergency signals. When defining a Kanban part for the first time, this is the number of signals generated. The recommended calculation for pull loop size is:

Pull Loop = (ADVV * (DF + MT + TT + OP) + SS ) / STD.PACK ADV =
				Average Daily Volume (based on MRP data) ADVV = ADV * Vendor's split DF =
				Delivery Frequency Time (in days) MT = Manufacturing Process Time TT =
				Intransit Time OP = Order Process Time SS = Safety Stock In Days STD.PACK =
				Standard Pack
