Determine a line’s performance and production amounts

A line’s performance amount is the amount of production (good and rejects) at the line’s bottleneck entity (see Understand bottleneck entities). If the line’s bottleneck is a set of parallel entities, the performance amount for the line will be the sum of the performance amounts of the parallel entities. Rejects from entities upstream from the bottleneck entity/entities are not included in the performance amount.

A line’s production amount is the amount of production (good and rejects) to be reported to resource planning systems, such as an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. It is based on the amount of production at the entity defined as the line’s production source, which is usually the last entity in the line. If there are other entities at the same line position as the entity that is defined as the production source, the production amount will be the sum of the production of all entities at that line position.
