INTRODUCTION
Mapping is defined as representation of process, system, procedure, structure etc which
depicts arrangements addition to relationships between its distinct components as well as traces
flows of materials, personnel, energy and information. It helps an individual to simplify
complicated information, identify and acquire life skills, provides safety to work in competition
and connects with memories (Greenhood, 2018). To understand mapping, Airdri Limited is
selected which is hand dryer manufacturer that have creative team for nurturing ideas in the
