Designing a design process is a crucial activity in concurrent product design environment. Though, there are several tools to design and visualize manufacturing process, e.g. Outline Process Chart, Process Flow Chart or IDEF0; the necessary information, e.g. standard, to manage processes, still can make the chart too complicate to realize. In addition, the evidence from field studies reveal that the required input variables from a considered process are not necessary to be similar output variables from the immediately predecessor process. These two findings and Control Plan as well as TQM lead to develop the novel manufacturing process design tool called the Material Alternation Product (MAP) chart. The major step forward of the new tool is accounted of which it has the capability to illustrate the important information for a considered manufacturing process, e.g. material in put requirements, variable to be controlled etc., within one chart. A hub-flange from a car is used as a case to validate the tool, moreover the validation square method is a mean to capture expert opinion on the developed tool. The results that the MAP tool is valid from the expert viewpoints.
