Bottlenecks are operations that constrain a site’s ability to meet production demand within the planned schedule. The bottleneck analysis tool in DPM automates the bottleneck identification process. By identifying the largest production bottlenecks in a site, DPM helps you to focus on the highest-value improvement opportunities and prioritize the operational improvement initiatives that will have the most impact on your manufacturing processes.

You can access the bottleneck analysis chart by selecting Performance Analysis > Bottleneck from the navigation menu on the left.

Apply site, year, and demand window filters to view data in the bottleneck chart.

For information on how bottleneck analysis is configured and calculated, see Configuring Bottleneck Analysis.
