Idle time will decrease

Explanation:

If the company improve there process by adding more capacity, it will decrease the idle time hour.

In the case of a non-bottleneck worker, if bottleneck worker increases their efficiency and produces more units, it will directly impact on non-bottleneck worker's idle time.

One efficient worker will reduce other worker's idle time.
