Bottleneck

This will perform a bottleneck sort on the selected operations. I.e. the selected operations on the “bottleneck” will keep current start and end times. Previous and following operations in the route are planned with limited or unlimited capacity.

Normally the macro command SelectComponents will be the previous step in a macro using this macro command, in order to select the bottleneck operations.
