Material Flow Mapping

Material Flow Mapping is a systematic visualization and analysis technique, within the domain of lean manufacturing and value stream methodologies, that specifically represents the physical movement of materials through a production system, distinguishing itself from other process mapping approaches by focusing exclusively on material handling, inventory points, and logistics flows rather than information or value-added activities.
