When to use it

• Use it when observing a physical process, to record actions as they happen and thus get an accurate description of the process.
• Use it when analyzing the steps in a process, to help identify and eliminate waste.
• Use it, rather than a Flowchart, when the process is mostly sequential, containing few decisions.
