| A few examples from the book: | ||
| - Make sure the bottleneck is working all the time. (/An hour lost at a bottleneck is an hour lost for the entire system./) | ||
| - Make sure the bottleneck only works on good parts so its working time won't be wasted. | ||
| - Reuse the old, less efficient machines to increase the bottleneck's capacity, and the whole system's throughput gets increased. |

Interesting. I think the difference between a human being and a company is that, there is usually no obivous downside or "carrying cost" to have more knowledge.

| And think about your bottleneck in this process. | ||
| (My guess is that for most of us, the bottleneck is marketing/sales, i.e. let potential buyers know that you have the knowledge they need.) |

This is actually very similar to the leverage theory in the Effective Engineer, just from a different angle
