According to Goldratt's theories, every system has a process that limits the performance of the whole system. This process is called a bottleneck.
Bottleneck analysis helps to identify this process and subsequently improve it with immediate effects on the system's output.

▶ What is bottleneck analysis?
In today's fast-paced business world, companies are always looking for ways to improve their processes and increase efficiency.
And that's where bottleneck analysis comes in.
Bottleneck analysis is a method used to identify the limiting factor or constraint that is slowing down the performance of a process or system.
This can be anything from a lack of resources, such as time or manpower, to a slow machine or outdated equipment.
By identifying the bottleneck, organizations can make improvements to increase the overall efficiency of their processes.
▶ Bottleneck Analysis Example
For example, imagine a factory that produces car parts.
The factory has several production lines, each of which has its own machines and workers.
But, despite having enough machines and workers, the overall production of the factory is slow.
Through bottleneck analysis, the factory management can identify that a limiting factor is a particular machine that is taking longer to complete its task than the others.
By upgrading this machine, the factory can improve its overall production speed.
Bottleneck analysis is a crucial tool for organizations because it helps them understand the root cause of their problems and make improvements that can lead to increased productivity, lower costs, and improved customer satisfaction.
By eliminating bottlenecks, companies can streamline their processes, reduce waste, and increase the efficiency of their operations.
▶ Conclusions
In conclusion, bottleneck analysis is a simple but effective tool for organizations looking to improve their processes and increase efficiency.
By identifying the limiting factors in their processes, companies can make targeted improvements that can lead to increased productivity and success.
