actual output
Definition
The amount of a product that a production facility actually produces, as opposed to the amount that it could produce if it were to run at full theoretical capacity. Determining the difference between potential output and actual output, or output gap, is an important step in identifying sources of waste or defect that can be targeted for process improvement.
