Enter 2 of the 3 below


<-- WIP
<-- Throughput
<-- Cycle Time
  

Using Little's Law, Calculate WIP given

cycle time of 100 and a throughput of 5

Using Little's Law, the relationship between WIP, Throughput (TH), and Cycle Time (CT) is below:

CT  =  WIP
  TH

Cross Multiplying, we get

WIP = CT x TH

Plugging in our numbers, we get:

WIP = 100 x 5

Final Answer

WIP = 500
