Real Signs Your Business Has a Scheduling Bottleneck

A checklist companion to the Scheduling Bottleneck definition already in the Constraint Library.

Signs worth checking for

A schedule gets built, then reworked by hand within the same day because the inputs it was built on had already changed. One person is the only one who can actually build or adjust the schedule, and the operation stalls when they're unavailable. Changeover or setup time between jobs is estimated the same way it was estimated years ago, regardless of what's actually changed since.
