    I have two questions and I need to ask whether it is true that or not.

    (1) Key Factor Analysis = we use contribution per limiting factor

    (2) Throughput Accounting = we use throughput return per limiting factor

    For key factor analysis what you have written is correct.

    For throughput accounting we use the throughput return per factory hour – it is factory hours that are the limiting factor.

    Thank you for your response 🙂

    Is it also true that in:
    (1) Key factor analysis = we always have labour hours as limited factor

    (2) Throughput accounting = we always have machine hours as limited factor. Factory hours is actually machine hours that is limiting factor. correct?

    1. No – anything could be the limiting factor

    2. Yes
