A bottleneck (also "bottle neck" or Bottleneck) is referred to in the logistics community as a critical place in the Supply Chain that inhibits the entire supply chain or can even bring it to a halt.
Brief description
Bottleneck They describe machines, functions, departments, or resources in production that, due to their production capacity, show high utilization. This place then limits the flow of materials and goods, thus creating production bottlenecks for the entire system. When the scope of demand changes or a product mix is executed, the bottleneck can shift to another part of the production system.
As part of production and capacity planning, bottlenecks should be located by looking for critical locations so that the foreseen countermeasures can be applied in a timely manner.
