  1. Process mapping is a workflow diagram to bring forth a clearer understanding of a process or series of parallel processes.

Business process mapping refers to activities involved in defining what a business entity does, who is responsible, to what standard a business process should be completed, and how the success of a business process can be determined.

The main purpose behind business process mapping is to assist organizations in becoming more efficient. A clear and detailed business process map or diagram allows outside firms to come in and look at whether or not improvements can be made to the current process.

Business process mapping takes a specific objective and helps to measure and compare that objective alongside the entire organization's objectives to make sure that all processes are aligned with the company's values and capabilities.

ISO9001 requires a business entity to follow a process approach when managing its business, and to this end creating business process maps will assist. The entity can then work towards ensuring its processes are effective (the right process is followed the first time), and efficient (continually improved to ensure processes use the smallest amount of resources).

Process mapping is a tool to measure process capabilities and (or) waste. This is graphical representation of process. It is used to draw full workflow from one stage to another as if you are holding a thread and perform complete process, and draw this path on the paper. This will not only show a real work flow but also material handling  and wastage.

Business Process Mapping refers to activities involved in defining exactly what a business entity does, who is responsible, to what standard a process should be completed and how the success of a business process can be determined. Once this is done, there can be no uncertainty as to the requirements of every internal business process. ISO9001 requires a business entity to follow a process approach when managing its business, and to this end creating business process maps will assist. The entity can then work towards ensuring its processes are effective (the right process is followed the first time), and efficient (continually improved to ensure processes use the least amount of resources)

Business process mapping is a procedure whereby the steps in a business process are clarified and documented in both written form and visually in a flow chart. Information about the process is gathered and compiled and the steps in the process are laid out from left to right and top to bottom, with specific shapes used to denote specific process components (decision points, documentation, etc.)
