The 'Best of the Best' Process Map Format

Mikael, are you suggest using 3D models for process flow (as that is the topic of this particular thread)?

While an interesting theory, I admit to being one who likes to keep things as simple as possible in this area and a 3D option might negate the value gained from using a process map.

At the end of the day, however, it all depends on what the purpose of the process map is.

Maybe not for a single process, but I reckon that 3D (or more) is required if you want to show the full sequence and interaction of processes in a system...

RCBeyette: I posted it so we can discuss pro & cons, possibilities. It is ment as inspiration.
It takes some little more effort to set up stuff in a 3D program, and it is not so esay to share, so indeed there has to be a really good reason to go 3D. Though sure it looks and sound fancy.

Interaction could be shown with animation, but it can still be 2D?

I like that the documents produced and able to be audited show up on the process map.

Dear Marc,
good morning.
THe format is really good but if you ask me for the ideal process flow then, as per my knowedge ,i would like to add following points
1)activity is VA 0r NVA
2)What is input (in terms of variable or attribute data
3)what is current control in the inputs
3)Out put measurement system
4)What is cycle time(may be tentative )
If these 5 points are present is PFD then it will very easy to prepare the FMEA and control plan.
Min requirement or in terms of 6 sigma ,you will low hanging fruits from PFD only
Thanks

Mr. Happy - I really like this model; it may help in my QMS audit planning for 2014. Contains enough detail, but still it is simple. I am currently looking at how I can perform my QMS audits more efficiently for next year.

Hello Hockyhead,

By hiding some of the columns you can easily change the number off steps into 2 or 1 step.

Cheers,

Mr.Happy

Anthony,

This is a good Turtle diagram with information on what is required. Thanks. I will use this as a model with adaptation to my requirements.
