Theoretical Flow Time is
the average time needed to pass through the system
a bottleneck
- is a capacity constrained resource
- can easily be identified by whichever activity in a system takes the longest
- can create long wait times
- is the resource that limits the throughput rate of the process
Little's Law
I=R*T
The time it takes for a unit to flow through an entire system is called
flow time
Capacity utilization may be formulated as
actual capacity/design capacity
True or False: Probability (no waiting) = 1-Probability(waiting)
true
