# WIP is proportional to average lead time
“The average number of work
 items in a stable system is equal
to their average completion rate,
 multiplied by their average time
          in the system.”

         John Little, 1961
WIP = Throughput x Lead time
The numbers at my bar
• My bar has 12 bottles of whiskey
• I finish an average of 6 bottles per year
• What is the average lead time for a bottle of
  whiskey?
?
WIP = Throughput x Lead time
 12 b= 6 b / year x Lead time
     Lead time = 2 years
Cycle time is the inverse of
        Throughput
WIP = Throughput x Lead time
            <=>
Lead Time = WIP x Cycle Time
Lead Time = WIP x Cycle Time

 2 years = 12 b x Cycle time
Cycle time = 1 year / 6 b
Converting to months…
Cycle time = 2 months / 1 b
In average, I finish a bottle every
            2 months
