How do I recognize bottlenecks?

Identifying bottlenecks requires a systematic approach. Visualizing your work processes is a proven tool. With Kanban, you can see exactly where work is piling up. Typically, bottlenecks appear where tasks are left unfinished for longer or processing comes to a standstill. Kanban boards help you to make these problems visible and analyze the cause.

What are the effects of bottlenecks?

If bottlenecks are not resolved in time, they can slow down your entire organization. Delays in one process step often have an impact on downstream processes. The result: longer throughput times, dissatisfied customers and stressed employees. Bottlenecks can also significantly affect the motivation and performance of the team. It is therefore worth taking targeted countermeasures.

How do I eliminate bottlenecks effectively?

The key to combating bottlenecks lies in optimizing your processes. Bottlenecks can be sustainably reduced by continuously analyzing workflows and making targeted improvements to individual process steps. The principle of continuous workflow enables you to identify bottlenecks at an early stage and initiate measures to relieve them. The following applies: small improvements lead to noticeable results.
