What are the implications of Little’s law? |
|
Answer» Essentially, the implications of Little’s law are that we can reduce the wait time by improving the processing time and by controlling the queue length. For EXAMPLE: if our capacity is of managing 4 requests per minute but we have an INFLOW of 8 requests per minute then obviously we have a wait time of 1 minute for first 4 items in the queue. So this is going to lead to a bottleneck and add to the queue. But if we improve our processing to 8 requests per minute, there will be no bottleneck. To achieve this, either we make an investment in better processors or capacity or FIND ways to improve the WIP limit through EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT techniques such as Value stream mapping. |
