Current Research:

What is a "bottleneck"? The concept of bottleneck is fundamental to any kind of process analysis. Yet, there exists a lot of misconception among the researchers and practitioners regarding the meaning of the term. My primary research work focuses on the classification of bottleneck definitions in Operations Management literature and the quest for an unified bottleneck definition.
