The primary objective of this heuristic is to improve performance by focusing on the scheduling of the most critical resources or "bottlenecks" in the production or processing sequence. **Key Concepts:** 1. **Bottleneck:** A bottleneck is a stage in a process that reduces the overall speed of the entire system.
