This chapter develops the throughput diagram as the basis for describing the input and output events of a work center. It is shown that the four objectives of production control — inventory, lead time, utilization and lateness — can be graphically represented over time in this diagram. Furthermore, the basic relationship between mean lead time, mean inventory and mean utilization is derived from this diagram. Finally, the flow of orders through a whole shop is also represented by means of the throughput diagram.
