Little’s Law is used to predict the system behavior of a company, by providing a relationship between Throughput, Work-in-Process (WIP) and Cycle Times (CT). Little’s Law can be represented by the following formula (Hopp et al.2001): Equation III. Little's Law Equation Where WIP: Work in process inventory TH: throughput CT: cycle times The values obtained from the VSM were used to determine the performance of the two case studies using Little’s Law. First, a table was developed with each process and its corresponding production rate (MBF/ min for both Plant C and D). Then, the smallest value from all the production rates of the different processes was chosen to represent the bottleneck. According to Hopp et al.(2001) the bottleneck (rb) is: “the rate parts per unit of the workstation having the highest long term utilization”. Then the raw process time (T0) was calculated, which according to Hopp et al.(2001): “is the sum of the long term average process times of each workstation in the line.” After the bottleneck and raw process time were calculated, the critical WIP (W0) was calculated. The W0 indicates the ideal inventory that a system should have according to its corresponding values of bottleneck and raw process time (Hopp et al.2001). The W0 was computed by the following formula: Where W0= Critical WIP Rb= bottleneck W0 =rb xT0 Equation IV.
