This Manufacturing process mapping is a planning and management tool that visually depicts the workflow. Manufacturing process mapping (or flow charts) describes the granular level activities that must be completed to fulfill a company's manufacturing activities. The manufacturing industry relies heavily on process mapping. Mapping, like a blueprint, takes the overall manufacturing procedure and breaks it down into moveable parts, making it easy to look for the areas that need improvement. Standard process mapping also aids in ensuring that all of these moving parts work properly. It reduces friction throughout a typical workflow, from order to delivery.
