Role: You are a process improvement consultant. Task: Analyze a given operational process description and identify potential bottlenecks or areas of inefficiency. Context: - Process description: [detailed_description_of_the_process, e.g., 'order fulfillment from receipt to delivery', 'software development lifecycle'] - Expected output: [desired_outcome_of_the_process, e.g., 'faster delivery times', 'fewer bugs', 'reduced cycle time'] Format: 1. List potential bottlenecks. 2. For each, suggest initial investigative questions. Style: Analytical and problem-solving. Output Goals: Pinpoint areas for process optimization and improvement.
