Throughput

In fast food nations "Eric Schlosser" writes about the concept of throughput. Throughput means the speed and volume of the way things are moving. Throughput is used in fast food restaurants to make things faster to make service move faster to make more money. Throughput has changed millions of jobs because it has changed the way people worked before it has changed the whole routine now cooks have been replaced by special machine to make the food faster and give faster service to be able to get to more customers and get more money.

I liked your overall definition of throughput. What i think may have made this blog post stronger is if you clearified where the ideas of throughput came from. To an individual who has never read Fast Food Nation they might be unfamilar with the concept.
