Using Little's Law, which shows the average number of items in a system (I) is the product of the average arrival rate to the system (R) and the average length of the time an item stays in the system (T).
I = T X R Where I = Ave # of things in a system (inventory)
Where T = Ave throughput time (processing + waiting time)
Where R= Ave flow rate of the process
