<p>The map is portrayed as a graph with a line showing elements such as customer forecasts, shipments to customers, orders for raw materials on the y-axis, over a period of time shown on the <a href="/facts/X_axis/lkTqvMmB">x axis</a>.
</p>
<h2 id="results">Results</h2>
<p>Distortion between <a href="/facts/Inventory/vSBu0d9r">inventory</a> levels is shown as a result of poor communication and an inability to <a href="/facts/Schedule_(workplace)/TKxXMhJq">schedule</a> accurately.  The flatter the lines displayed the leaner the system and more accurate the forecast.
