Identifying Bottlenecks: Key Techniques for Process Improvement
Bottleneck Identification is critical in process optimization, focusing on pinpointing the stages in a workflow where delays occur. By addressing these constraints, organizations can increase throughput and improve the overall efficiency of their operations.

What is Bottleneck Identification?
Bottleneck Identification involves analyzing a process to find the point where flow is restricted, causing delays or inefficiencies. These bottlenecks reduce output and limit the overall capacity of the process.
Key Techniques for Identifying Bottlenecks
Process Mapping: Visualizing the workflow to spot slow areas.
Throughput Analysis: Measuring output at different stages to detect inefficiencies.
Cycle Time Tracking: Monitoring the time it takes to complete tasks at various points in the process.
