How many containers should jitson authorize for the gear

Containers typically wait 1.2 day in the fabrication cell. Each container holds 85 gears, and one container requires 1.9 day in machine time. Setup times are negligible. If the policy variable for unforeseen contingencies is set at 0.02, how many containers should Jitson authorize for the gear replenishment system? Jitson should authorize containers.
