Process Mapping with Microsoft Project

We map process by brainstorming steps then capturing those steps in Microsoft Project. Using Microsoft Project allows you to 

1. capture resource usage for each work step.
2. capture cycle time.
3. estimate costs for each work step and each work process.

You see process improvement activities when you analyze cycle times. How long work steps and cycles take. We trained a reengineering team at Canada Corrections to use Microsoft Project to map their processes and they saved $1,000,000 in inventory costs per year.
