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

https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/goal-eliyahu-m-goldratt/1103443759

I recommend reading it, then reading it again 6 months later, then after that
reading it every two years. Yes, it's that good and that important. I suggest the
print edition: The electronic edition I bought a couple years ago is very
misformatted.

I wrote a little bit about bottleneck analysis 24 years ago, here:
