Little's Law relates the average number of items in a queuing system (inventory) to the average rate at which items leave the system (throughput rate) and the average time an item spends in the system (flow time). The formula is often stated as L = λW, where L is the average number of items in the system (inventory), λ is the average arrival rate of items to the system (throughput rate), and W is the average time an item spends in the system (flow time). Therefore, to find flow time, you use the ratio of Inventory/Throughput rate.
