Flow
diagrams don't work if they're not accurate or if the team is too far removed from the process itself. Team members should be true participants in the process and feel free to describe what really happens. A thorough
flow diagram should provide a clear view of how a process works. With a completed flow diagram, you can:
Identify time lags and non-value-adding steps.
Identify responsibility for each step.
Brainstorm for problems in the process.
Determine major and minor inputs into the process with a cause & effect diagram.
Choose the most likely trouble spots with the consensus builder.
