Chapter 5), the design team is divided into appropriate subteams based on experience, change-management value in appropriate product groups, and division of work to complete the maps. Physical locations are usually placed on the map first, followed by the product-family routes between the locations.There are two basic strategies to assemble the maps—by the type of material movement (inbound, intercompany, outbound, and returns) or by supply chain.In the case of suppliers, many teams map the physical locations of a few top suppliers for each main commodity type. One strategy to gather accurate data on transportation routes is to focus a subteam on collecting and summarizing freight bills. Freight bills contain the important details of the item, quantity, sales value, freight expense, and delivery cycle time, point of origin, and destination. Depending on the transportation carriers used, much of this data may be available electronically.In Fowlers' case, the technology products geographic map summarizes the material flow of four product families from supplier location to manufacturing site to warehouse location (Figure 7-3). It also highlights all warehouse-to-warehouse and warehouse-to-manufacturing moves. Return flow is not mapped on this figure; the team assembled it on a customer-facing map. Lastly, the import locations for optical media and drives—Seattle and Los Angeles—are included.
