    The follOwing statements have been made in relation to the concepts outline in throughput
    accounting:
    (i) Inventory levels should be kept to a minimum
    (i) All machines within a factory should be 100% efficient, with no idle time
    Which of the above statements is/are correct?

    I have read about the concepts of throughput accounting in the lecture notes but can’t understand these statements.

    We do assume that inventory levels are kept to a minimum.

    We do not assume there is no machine idle time – the bottleneck machine will not have idle time, but the other machines will.

    Can I get any explanations simple for these assumptions so I can understand?
