Henry, The Outputs would be the measurable outputs from each decision. Remember that the goal of an input map is to track the inputs to a process so we can Pareto those inputs in the C&E Matrix and then determine their Failure Modes in the FMEA. The Input Map doesn’t care about the actual decision being made as would a process flow map.

For example, if I have these steps:

1. Setup
2. Apply the peanut butter
3. Apply the Jelly
4. Final Assy
5. Pass sandwich to customer

The step number 5 has a decision point: the customer may require a slice sandwich into 2 halves or not. When making the input map, what is the output in the step number 5?
