Mapping tool | Origin of mapping tool |
|---|---|
1. Process (activity) mapping | Industrial engineering |
2. Supply chain response matrix | Time compression/logistics |
3. Production variety funnel | Operations management |
4. Quality filter mapping | New tool |
5. Demand amplification mapping/Forrester effect mapping | Systems dynamics |
6. Decision point analysis | Efficient consumer response/logistics |
7. Physical structure mapping | New tool |
