Throughput measurement

Throughput measurement refers to the amount of data or information that can be transmitted or processed within a specific period, typically expressed in units like bits per second or transactions per minute. It helps assess the efficiency and capacity of a network, system, or process. For example, in internet connections, higher throughput means faster download and upload speeds. In manufacturing, it indicates how many units are produced over time. Understanding throughput allows organizations to identify bottlenecks, improve performance, and ensure systems meet their required throughput levels for optimal operation.
