Tiivistelmä
Bottlenecks are obstacles, which reduce the entire capacity of the system. Bottlenecks are always present in the system in different forms like constraints of management, people,
material, equipment, process, policy, environment etc. Its forms can be different according to the type of business but the methods to identify it can be same. A number of approaches have been developed by several scholars; what ever may be the approach of identifying root cause for the prevailing problem is the only way to get rid of bottlenecks.
The aim of this thesis is to identify different types of bottleneck prevailing in Bet-ker Oy and recommending a solution. In the process of identifying bottleneck, I tried my best to utilize all the knowledge gained through learning and practical works done under different subjects in the class and several articles, reports and research work published in different books and internet were followed.
I have tried my best to cover all possible theories needed under each topic, so that the reader can get a clear picture of different types of bottlenecks, ways to identify and deduce possible solutions to it.
