In business, a bottleneck is a point of obstruction within a process or system. These bottlenecks can occur in any system like an information network, supply chain, manufacturing, or software systems.
Bottlenecks are usually synonymous with a "slow point," a point in a system where the flow rate slows. Because of this, they are also known as "throttles." Traffic bottlenecking is when localized congestion occurs within an otherwise smoothly flowing traffic stream due to the merging or diverging of flows. The merging of flows naturally reduces speed as the bigger volume reduces to the capacity.
This Bottleneck Diagram Template for PowerPoint can be used to present an analysis of a bottleneck, its causes, and possible solutions.
The diagram has 5 streams that can be customized to represent your information; the diagram template can be further edited to fit your needs.
