Transportation is the movement of parts or information. Motion is the movement of people or data entry. Quantifying both of these can be accomplished using the spaghetti diagram. The spaghetti diagram is a simple tool that starts with a layout or representation of the shop area. Using the layout and a measuring wheel, parts or people are shadowed and the distances are measured. The frequency of the movements are recorded on the layout and a spaghetti diagram is the result. This module covers the elements of the spaghetti diagram and is suitable for independent study or formal classroom training and includes an exercise and quiz questions.
