Abstract

It has long been established that the mean throughput time is a result from the relationship between the work in process (WIP) and output rate. In reality, however, throughput times are frequently dispersed broadly around this mean. With the aid of a model originally developed for lateness, it is now possible to describe the throughput times of individual orders. Accordingly, the throughput time can be divided into two components: WIP-dependent throughput time and sequence-dependent throughput time.
