Definition
- Bottleneck is the “narrow part of a bottle near the top.” The literal meaning aside, the term refers to “a place or stage in a process at which progress is impeded” and was first used sometime between 1895 and 1900. It is used in varied contexts at present: software/internet, road traffic, logistics (of office work), supply chain, even music (to portray the sliding effects on guitar strings).
