Talk:Throughput (business)

Ecological economics
I don't know how to do this but 'throughput' is an important concept in the field of ecological economics:

Throughput - The flow of raw materials and energy from the global ecosystem’s sources of low entropy (mines, wells, fisheries, croplands) through the economy, and back to the global ecosystem’s sinks for high entropy wastes (atmosphere, oceans, dumps) (Ecological Economics: Principles and Applications).

Does this mean it needs a new page, or would it be another aspect of this one?

I would recommend a new page since what your describing doesn't seem remotely connected with Little's Theorem, which relates throughput to stock levels and lead times.Lbertolotti (talk) 19:44, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Comment appreciated
Thanks for the comment about the meaning of throughput in ecological economics. That's exactly the usage I was searching for. 134.67.6.14 (talk) 18:07, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
