The activities associated with the gathering and interpretation of high level processes, work and information flows. The purpose of Network Process Flow Definition is to get a comprehensive understanding of the high level work and information flows in your supply chain and the connections and process interdependencies in your supply chain. Information collected includes: Nodes, processes, connections and interdependencies.

Notes

The scope of the Value Stream Maps at this point should capture the total supply chain, not just a single entity or node. Material flow maps connect nodes of a supply chain, Thread diagrams connects processes. Thread diagrams can help clarify where the process is changes from customer order driven to plan driven (see Customer Order Decoupling Point). Discuss Contract Custom Solution
