Using a queueing network model, we demonstrate that production bottlenecks are inevitable when there are differences in job arrival rates, ... We introduce the notion of an "economic bottleneck," which defines resources as bottlenecks based on economic, rather than physical, characteristics. This definition provides the basis...

QUEUEING NETWORKS) 1. Introduction We examine the shifting bottleneck phenomenon that often bedevils operating managers.Shifting bottlenecks occur when the location of the bottleneck work center in a production facility changeswith time.

With no buffering between the machines, the production rate of both Cases 2 and 3 would be .475. Again, each machine (including the bottleneck) could meet the required production rate in isolation, but the complete system cannot without inventory buffering between the machines.
