Time (When & How Long)
Storage and Delays are displayed in the
flow chart with their own symbol -
.
It is common to find them at the end of a process line where they
typically indicate long-term storage. But you may also find them
throughout a process where they are holding up the work. Delays
generally account for over 95% of the processing time!
Almost all of the
processing time, and most OTHER process maps don't even show delays!
