When we get into discussions about bottlenecking, I recommend every English speaker<br>
in the world read the book "The Goal" by Goldratt and Cox.<br>

<br>
I recommend reading it, then reading it again 6 months later, then after that<br>
reading it every two years. Yes, it's that good and that important. I suggest the<br>
print edition: The electronic edition I bought a couple years ago is very<br>
misformatted.<br>
<br>
I wrote a little bit about bottleneck analysis 24 years ago, here:<br>
