1 Throughput, Work-in-Process, and Cycle Time

IEOR 4000: Production Managementpage 1 Professor Guillermo Gallego1 Throughput, Work-in-Process, and Cycle TimeThe purpose of this section is to obtain a basic understanding of the relationship that exists betweenthroughput, work-in process, and Cycle times. We will assume a production system where parts gothrough a specific routing. Thethroughput, denoted byTH, is the average output per unit time, ,number of widgets per hour. The inventory between the start and the end points of a productionsystem (not counting crib inventory or finished goods inventory ) is calledwork-in-process(WIP).Thecycle time(CT) of a given production system is the average time parts spend as bottleneck raterbis the rate of the process center having least long-term capacity.
