The Process flow or morphological chart gives an insight on what different possible production methods or parts there to make a product. This is used as an input for further analyses like Technology Scenarios.

When to use 

Product specification should be ready before making a Process flow or morphological chart. With new products it could that there are little specifications. In this case they should estimated and noted.

Process flow or morphological chart is used when:

• A new product is made
• At the start of an improvement project

Description

All different alternatives to produce a product or part of a product that applies to the specifications should be collected. After this all different production methods for different processes steps like: assembly steps, components and materials are identified.

Each alternative gets a represented graphically. These are evaluated by means the Technology Scenarios.
