Identify the process to be analyzed. This will be one which involves a significant amount of movement by people, materials or both.
Produce a scale map of the work area, not including machines, but including items that cannot easily be moved, such as power points, air lines, etc. This may be available from the site office.
Add all machines, furniture and other equipment to the diagram. If possible, do this in a way that will allow these to be moved, for example by using shaped pieces of card that can be pinned to the work area map from step 2.
Identify the points in the process where actions take place and mark the positions of these on the map with map pins.
Where there are different action types, these can be differentiated by marking or pinning down paper action symbols (typically the same as those used in the Flow Process Chart).
Tie the end of a piece of string to the pin where the process starts, and then wrap it around each pin in turn, following the movement around the process, as in the figure below. Tie the string off at the last position (which may be the start point, if the person returns there).
Mark the string at the start and finish points, using a pen. Remove the string and measure between the penmarks, using the map scale. This will give the total distance traveled during the process.
