Bottleneck Process

Products are usually produced through a lot of processes in a factory, but it takes too much time and cost to plan the capacities for all processes. Bottleneck process refers to the process where products requiring focused plans and controls are manufactured, and includes the processes requiring machine/equipment whose quantity is limited, mold tool, and special skills. It makes the control more effective than across-the-board control to intensively control these processes by setting them as bottleneck process.
