Process Flow Analysis

You can't improve a process you haven't mapped. Continuously lets you break any process into steps, classify each one — operation, transport, delay, storage, inspection — and measure duration and distance, so you can see the waste and design a leaner flow.

Process Flow Analysis illustration

Why it works

See every step

Break a process into typed steps so nothing is hidden or assumed.

Quantify the waste

Capture duration and distance per step to find delays and unnecessary movement.

Redesign with intent

Re-sequence and eliminate steps to plan a streamlined future state.

How it works

  1. 1

    Name the process

    Create a process focus and describe the activity you want to analyse.

  2. 2

    List the steps

    Add each step in order, classifying it as an operation, transport, delay, storage or inspection.

  3. 3

    Measure each step

    Record the duration and distance so the true cost of the flow is visible.

  4. 4

    Design the new flow

    Tag steps to keep, move, or remove and build your streamlined process.

Example use case

From two weeks to one day

An office team mapped out their sales order process. It took nearly two weeks and was littered with hidden delays. The mapping only took a few hours to complete but after a little re-jigging, they got their sales order process lead time down to just over a day.
