Throughput

Throughput, the amount of product sold per unit of time, is directly related to cycle time and WIP through Little's Law, which states, WIP = throughput x cycle time. This relationship is key to the success of CONWIP and pull systems, in general, and is an instrumental component of C-Suite's ability to quantify trade-offs, such as throughput versus cost.

Throughput is also equal to the bottleneck utilitization x bottleneck rate which means that an increase of throughput can be achieved by increasing utilization of the bottleneck or increasing its rate. C-Suite quickly identifies and quantifies bottlenecks and provides powerful insight into how to buffer the bottleneck utilization to enhance throughput—especially in an environment of changing product mix.. In addition, C-Suite provides manufacturing models that allow company stakeholders to measure the impact of bottleneck improvements to the company's bottom line before investing additional capital and/or resources.

Throughput equates to your company's revenue. C-Suite's powerful optimization algorithms optimize both throughput (revenue) and profitability.
