peer agreement (net): +1just "capacity" Explanation: i.e. how much the factory can produce in a given period of time "through-put" is excessive - unless the factory processes something -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-02-07 13:02:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- if it's a "food factory" and something like fruit comes in and is measured by cases - i would also suggest "processing capacity" |

capacità di produzione Explanation: It should be spelt throughput though! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 mins (2010-02-07 12:19:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A synonym could simply be "productivity" - not sure if you are looking for a translation or just an explanation of the term? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-02-07 13:05:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It simply means that the factory is able to produce more than xx products per year. Throughput is the production capacity in this context. HTH |

Examples of common usage would be 'hourly throughput', 'daily throughput', 'weekly throughput'. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 hrs (2010-02-08 02:58:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I knew this from general background knowledge, but checked with a manager at a Pepsico plant whom I know well and this is his explanation.
