"text" : "A bottleneck is the slowest part of your supply chain that holds up the entire process. Think of it like a narrow section of a highway—traffic can only move as fast as that tight spot allows. This tool finds the stage with the longest duration, so you know where delays are piling up and can take action to speed things up.
