The bottleneck time is the step in the process that limits the overall output. In this case, the workstation can produce 1,000 chips in 20 seconds, which means it can produce 50 chips in 1 second (1,000 chips / 20 seconds = 50 chips/second). Therefore, the bottleneck time is the time it takes to produce one chip, which is 0.02 seconds per chip (1 second / 50 chips = 0.02 seconds/chip).
