    Dear Sir,

    The answer is that : Throughout per hour of process Alpha is 25, so Process Alpha can only produce 25 units per hour.
    Please kindly help me to explain this point. I don’t understand the relationship between throughput per hour and number of unit produced per hour.

    Thank you.

    The two things mean the same. The throughput per hour is the number per hour that the process is capable of producing.
