Throughput Capacity Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate throughput capacity is:

$\text{TC} = \frac{\text{I}}{\text{T}}$

Where:

$\text{TC}$ is the throughput capacity (units/time)
$\text{I}$ is the total inventory (units)
$\text{T}$ is the total time (time units)

What is Throughput Capacity?

Throughput capacity refers to the amount of inventory processed or produced within a given time period. This metric is crucial for understanding the efficiency and productivity of production or processing operations, helping to optimize performance and plan for future capacity needs.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Total Inventory (I) = 1000 units
Total Time (T) = 5 hours

Using the formula:

$\text{TC} = \frac{1000}{5} = 200 \text{ units/hour}$

The Throughput Capacity is 200 units/hour.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Total Inventory (I) = 500 units
Total Time (T) = 2.5 hours

Using the formula:

$\text{TC} = \frac{500}{2.5} = 200 \text{ units/hour}$

The Throughput Capacity is 200 units/hour.
