In intralogistics, throughput describes the average flow of unit loads into and/or out of a warehouse. Throughput can be calculated using the following formula: T = I/F. T = Throughput, I = Inventory (the number of units in the production process) and F = The time the inventory units spend in production from start to finish. In logistics, throughput performance is particularly relevant for the calculation of costs (throughput charges/time spent). Further Information.
