The article compares different methods for finding bottlenecks in AGV systems used in manufacturing. The goal was to improve system performance by identifying and addressing bottlenecks. The researchers found that the shifting bottleneck detection method they developed outperformed traditional methods based on utilization and waiting time. The new method not only accurately detected bottlenecks but also determined their severity.
