ABSTRACT:
A computerized method for determining throughput includes generating a demand array of item orders and generating a supply array of manufacturing inventory. The method includes selecting an item order in the demand array, and; matching manufacturing inventory in the supply array with the selected item order. The method also includes assigning a throughput value to the selected item order based on the matched manufacturing inventory.
