Bottleneck Technique

The Bottleneck Technique is a method used to identify the most significant limiting factor in a process. Imagine a factory assembly line where one machine is much slower than the others; this slow machine is the "bottleneck." By focusing efforts on improving this specific area, you can enhance overall efficiency and productivity. In broader contexts, like project management or personal productivity, the technique helps pinpoint what is holding back progress, allowing for targeted solutions that can lead to smoother operations and better outcomes.
