Abstract: The invention, which is a form of a process map, will be referred to as a wastemap. It is a diagram associated with a process map, or prior art, developed in another location and is to provide a visual representation of the information in a more concise and understandable manner. The wastemap is generated by equating categories and steps within the process map to one or more shapes, typically lines. These shapes will have one serve as the first axis from which associated shapes will originate. These shapes may also vary in attributes based on the characteristics of the originating process map steps. A wastemap is to be generated in a non-transitory computer readable medium.
