A) the average throughput time for a process to actual output and capacity.
B) the average throughput time to work-in-process (WIP) inventory and the actual output rate.
C) the utilization of a process to actual output and capacity.
D) the utilization of a process to work-in-process (WIP) inventory and the actual output rate.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Little's Law is a formula that describes the relationship between the average throughput time, work-in-process inventory, and the actual output rate of a process. It states that the average number of items in a system (work-in-process inventory) is equal to the product of the average throughput time and the actual output rate. Therefore, B is the correct choice in this scenario.
