Generation

A supply chain bottleneck occurs when one step in the production or distribution process can't keep up with demand, slowing down everything else—like how a narrow section of highway causes traffic jams even if the rest of the road is clear. This might happen because a factory can't produce parts fast enough, a port is overwhelmed with cargo, or there aren't enough truck drivers to deliver goods. When bottlenecks occur, products get delayed, costs increase, and businesses struggle to meet customer demand. Fixing them often requires either increasing capacity at the slow point or finding alternative routes around it.
