Six Sigma DMAIC Process - Analyze Phase - As Is Process Map

An as-is process map shows how work is performed now: its activities, inputs, outputs and handoffs. Mark which inputs the team controls and which require influence or coordination. Use process knowledge and measurements to identify critical inputs; the drawing alone does not establish criticality. Annotate value-added and non-value-added activities, opportunities to remove steps, potential bottlenecks, existing and needed data-collection points, and processing time for each activity. These details help the team evaluate process efficiency.

Example: expand an as-is process map from its overview to a more detailed level:

From process overview to detailed flowThe original overview A to E expands process D into D1 to D5, then expands D2 into a nineteen-node unlabeled schematic. Nine explicit directed edges and thirteen unheaded connections remain distinct. No business activity labels or branch outcomes are inferred.From process overview to detailed flowProcessABCDESubprocessD1D2D3D4D5D expands into D1–D5; D2 expands into the unlabeled schematic below.Arrowheads indicate direction. Unheaded connections do not specify direction.
