	Kethinov/Writing/Articles/ISP business model analysis and why throughput limits are bad for everyone (2004-01-08)
		The definition of just what unlimited means to these services in question seems to be diminishing as more and more people start taking full advantage of the unlimited nature of their service.
		In contrast, the "sell-what-you-have" business model is profitable in exactly the same way, except you have to advertise a slower service.
		But one thing is for sure, the oversell business model, which seems to be a sad combination of the flat-rate-unlimited and the throughput-charged business models needs to go.

	Throughput - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An example in modem communication, where the throughput typically is measured in the interface between the PPP protocol and the circuit switched modem connection.
		The maximum throughput of a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint physical transmission medium, is equal to or near the channel capacity.
		The maximum throughput may be related to the analog bandwidth of a physical transmission medium, measured in Hertz.

	Throughput Summary
		Throughput refers either to (1) the number of operations that a computer or component of a computer can perform in a given period of time or (2) the speed with which data can be passed through a communications channel.
		The throughput of a digital communications channel is the number of bits, characters, or words passing through that channel per second.
		Throughput is the amount of data that can be transferred through a digital connection in a given time period (in other words, the connection's bit rate).

		Business flow can be viewed as a pipeline made of the business processes or phases (represented as rectangles).
		The most common business case is where every business process resides in separate operational system and has its own physical entity which is in fact the interface entity.
		The most important characteristic of the business flow architecture is that the interfaces are made of the entities that are physicalized as the conformed dimensions within the warehouse.

		This month, I'll look at the second step of the process, which uses these business drivers to determine an actual technical configuration for your platform, and then I'll conclude with a discussion on iterating this configuration to address the issues that arise due to complex interactions between each of the components in your configuration.
		Finally, divide the total I/O throughput by the average scan rate capabilities of the particular disk drives you are considering to calculate the actual number of disk drives you will need.
		Then, because we already know the throughput capabilities of the disk controllers, we can determine how many processors will be needed to handle that throughput.

	Business process modelling and simulation
		Business process models are an important component of repertoire of BPM tools available commercially.
		Business process simulation can be described as a logical model for a business process that can be used to evaluate the business process response for a given set of resources.
		For business process models to deliver on their promise of enabling innovation in the organization, their development and introduction in the organization must be viewed as a collective learning exercise.

	BUSINESS PROCESS REDESIGN IN HEALTHCARE: TOWARDS A STRUCTURED APPROACH INFOR - Find Articles
		To be able to meet this demand, service times and throughput times in healthcare institutes should be reduced as much as possible while the quality of service should at least stay the same.
		Business Process Redesign could contribute to that by optimising the tasks, the routing structure for those tasks, the way that resources are allocated to the process, etc.
		Their major vehicles were the application of information technology on the one hand and the restructuring of business process on the other.

		In response, screening methodologies have also improved with time, both in terms of throughput and the amount of information to be derived from the screen.
		High-throughput screening is evolving not only as a discrete activity, but as a perspective that is expanding backward toward target identification and validation and forward to converting assay hits to qualified leads via information generated either within screens or through downstream, high-throughput ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) and toxicity testing.
		The discovery process is currently on a steep growth curve both with respect to the number of targets and compounds to be screened and the complexity of the assays required.

	A Framework for Reducing Manufacturing Throughput Time Journal of Manufacturing Systems - Find Articles
		Manufacturing throughput time reduction can be a daunting task due to the many factors that influence it and their complex interactions.
		Manufacturing throughput time is defined as the length of time between the release of an order to the factory floor and its receipt into finished goods inventory or its shipment to the customer.
		While manufacturing throughput time reduction can indeed be a daunting task due to the many factors that influence it and their complex interactions, there are basic principles that, when applied correctly, can be used to reduce manufacturing throughput time.

	Linchi Shea : Don't Forget the Business Transaction Throughput and Response Time
		As far as the business transactions are concerned, Workload A represents relatively light load level, Workload C represents the workload that has saturated the SQL Server instance, and Workload B is somewhere in between.
		Even though its read I/O latency is rather significant in general, the database still has a lot of room for more load and for higher transaction throughput while the transaction response time is well within the acceptable range.
		The simple point is that when you are examining the SQL Server performance using perfmon counters and wait stats, don't forget to check the performance metrics of the business transactions, especially their throughput and response time, whichever is important to the business.

		To test throughput, we'll be timing exactly how long it takes to download a copy of Karen Kenworthy's popular and useful "Directory Printer" freeware application.
		The throughput number will be the aggregate performance of your system, your browser, your modem, your ISP, the Net at large (and all the components your bits will travel through) and the WinMag Web Server.
		The test will be accurate when you run it, but because of all the variables involved, throughput will change from time to time and even from moment to moment.
