Question: What are other real-world analogies I could have used for throughput instead of a highway?

Metalbird

Two analogies that I can think of would be either food delivery (if you assume that everyone lives a fixed distance away), where having more employees, getting a better car or other things could improve throughput. Another example would be checking out at a grocery store, where either hiring more employees or faster employees could lead to increased throughput.

Other real-world analogies include the checkout lanes in a grocery store and message delivery over communication channels.
