Formel
Throughput = Units / Time (h). Shift Output = Throughput × 8 h.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
What is throughput in manufacturing?
Throughput is the number of units produced per unit of time. It is a key performance indicator for any production system.
Why is a shift taken as 8 hours?
An 8-hour shift is the standard in most industries. The calculator projects hourly throughput to a full standard shift for easy planning.
How does throughput relate to bottlenecks?
System throughput is limited by the slowest operation (bottleneck). Speeding up other steps won't improve total output until the bottleneck is resolved.
