(throughput goes up or capacity goes down). Little’s Law: I = R x T (congestion = arrival rate x delay). Little’s Law is I = R*T (where I = avg inventory‚ r = throughput rate‚ t = avg flowtime). Delay explodes as the arrival rate approaches the system capacity: Delay ≈ 1/(capacity–arrival rate). The utilization
