Process Bottleneck Identifier

Problem:

‍In complex or cross-functional workflows, delays and idle time often go unnoticed until they become costly. It’s difficult to pinpoint where exactly the problem is — or how long it’s been happening.

Solution:

‍This system tracks how long each step of a process takes across departments. When activity stalls or handoffs are delayed, it flags the bottleneck and quantifies its impact on the overall lead time.

What it can do:

• Visualize workflows with live status for each stage
• Track real cycle time vs. target time per step
• Send alerts when idle time exceeds thresholds
• Rank bottlenecks by frequency and duration
• Provide hard data to drive Kaizen and DMAIC initiatives
