Process Mapping Techniques

Process mapping techniques are tools used to visualize and understand workflows in various contexts, such as business, manufacturing, or service delivery. These techniques involve creating diagrams that outline the steps involved in a process, showing inputs, outputs, and decision points. Common methods include flowcharts, swimlane diagrams, and value stream mapping. By mapping out a process, organizations can identify bottlenecks, redundancies, and opportunities for improvement, ultimately enhancing efficiency and effectiveness in achieving their goals. This approach facilitates clearer communication and collaboration among team members and stakeholders.
