Construct a process flowchart
Classify each step as either operation, transportation, inspection, delay, or storage.
Create an excel file with columns for each category: Operation, Transportation, Inspection, Delay, Storage, Time, and Distance. The rows list the steps.
Assign either or both distance or time as a means to determine areas for improvement. You can make an educated guess.
If you can't identify which category applies for a step, then most likely you have combined two steps into one. Break the step down further.
Identify bottlenecks, potential failure points, and opportunities for improvement.
