In production and project management, a bottleneck is a process in a chain of processes, such that its limited capacity reduces the capacity of the whole chain. The result of having a bottleneck are stalls in production, supply overstock, pressure from customers, and low employee morale. [1] There are both short and long-term bottlenecks.
In conservation biology, minimum viable population (MVP) size helps to determine the effective population size when a population is at risk for extinction. [5] [6] The effects of a population bottleneck often depend on the number of individuals remaining after the bottleneck and how that compares to the minimum viable population size.
In streamline manufacturing, the bottleneck is the station of a production line where greatest limiting factor lies. It is generally the station with the greatest amount of work in process at the work station. Bottlenecks often results in slow production times, surplus of raw material and low employee morale.
A bottleneck can reduce or eliminate genetic variation from a population. Further drift events after the bottleneck event can also reduce the population's genetic diversity. The lack of diversity created can make the population at risk to other selective pressures. [36] A common example of a population bottleneck is the Northern elephant seal ...
The impact of a population bottleneck can be sustained, even when the bottleneck is caused by a one-time event such as a natural catastrophe. An interesting example of a bottleneck causing unusual genetic distribution is the relatively high proportion of individuals with total rod cell color blindness ( achromatopsia ) on Pingelap atoll in ...
Google DeepMind used an artificially generated pool of 100 million unique examples to train its system AlphaGeometry to solve complex math problems, “sidestepping the data bottleneck” of human ...
Bottleneck (production), where one process reduces capacity of the whole chain; Bottleneck (software), in software engineering; Interconnect bottleneck, limits on integrated circuit performance; Internet bottleneck, slowing the performance on the Internet at a particular point; Bottleneck, a design element of some firearms cartridge cases
Examples of these activities include habitat modification, freshwater consumption, an increase in nutrients due to fertilizers, and many others. [30] Increased nutrients can stimulate an algal bloom in waterbodies, increasing primary production but making the ecosystem less stable. [ 31 ]
