Figure F.47 Spaghetti diagram of a floor plan showing poor use of physical space.
An example of a spaghetti diagram is shown in Figure F.47. The floor plan
for the process provides the background, complete with walls and doors. The
flow of the process is superimposed to show the flow of personnel and material
as the process activities are undertaken.
Interpretation
Look for opportunities to move necessary process steps closer to one another.
Notice in the example the scrambled mess, resembling the tangles of cooked
spaghetti, resulting from excessive movement and poor use of physical space.
