Percent utilization of the bottleneck resource, the laboratory technician’s time transcribing results, as processing times grow longer (left side) or more variable (wider; right side). For each "what-if" scenario (point on the x-axis), results from 100 simulation runs are reported on a box plot showing the median (horizontal line), interquartile range (box), range (whiskers), and outliers (asterisks)
