Examples of throughput:
-
I want to make eggs and bacon for breakfast. The throughput is heating up eggs and bacon on a pan and placing them on a plate to eat.
-
I want to pick up my sibling from school. The throughput is getting in my car, driving to their school, picking them up, and then driving back home. Idk if going back home counts. I jus wanna be back home after picking them up.
-
Picking a subway sandwich to eat. The throughput is telling the clerk a choice of meat, the kind of cheese, telling them the toppings and sauce, and then paying
The things I listed as throughput just sound like describing the system not throughput.
Im analyzing what throughput is in the quote above:
Is success at our goal another way to say throughput? Is throughput also “moving resources through a system to a goal at the end?” I think “which” in the quote is referring to the word “throughput”. So I think it’s a yes for the second question. I think the first question is also yes cuz “called” tells me i can describe, “Success at our goal” in one word.
I wanna say why or why not 1, 2, and 3 are througput examples.
I think in 1 the eggs, bacon, heat from stove, pan, spatula, n plate are resources. Idk actually not sure what resource means. I think heat is a resource that im using to heat the raw food n making it edible.
In 2 I think the energy I use to get up n drive is a resource. I use it to handle the car and move my body to pick up my sibling.
In 3 the money i use is a resource cuz i use it to pay for the sandwich.
