Throughput
Throughput is the rate at which a system or process produces finished goods or services over a specific period. It measures how much useful output is generated.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Throughput in manufacturing refers to the rate at which a production system successfully processes raw materials into salable finished goods, reflecting the system's overall productivity and efficiency in delivering value.
BACKGROUND
Lean manufacturing is a management system built on three principles: produce only what is needed, when it is needed; correct abnormalities as soon as they occur; and empower workers to improve the process themselves.
