Little's law states that the average number of customers in a system is equal to the mean arrival rate times the average time in the system. This means that the number of customers in the system (waiting in the queue or being served) is directly proportional to the arrival rate of customers and the time they spend in the system. It is a fundamental concept in queuing theory and is used to optimize system performance by balancing arrival rates, service rates, and queue lengths.
