Flowchart

 A flowchart is a visual representation of the


sequence of steps and decisions needed to
perform a process. Each step in the sequence
is noted within a diagram shape. Steps are

What is a linked by connecting lines and directional


arrows. This allows anyone to view the

flowchart and logically follow the process from
beginning to end.

 A flowchart is a powerful business tool. With


proper design and construction, it
communicates the steps in a process very
effectively and efficiently.
Common uses of flowcharts:

How to Make a Flowchart

 Originally, flowcharts were created by hand using pencil and


paper, drawing templates made of plastic, flowchart shape
outlines

 Today's flowcharts are typically created using flowchart software.

Flow Chart Symbols

 The flowchart has different shapes. These shapes are known


as flowchart symbols. There are dozens of symbols that can be
used in a flowchart, it's important to know what they represent
before using them. Just as word usage conveys a certain
message, flowchart symbols also have specific meaning.
Common Flowchart
Symbols
 Oval or Pill Shape - The start
or end

 Arrows - relationships

 Parallelogram - Input/output

 Rectangle Shape - Process

 Diamond Shape - Decision

Planning a New Project
| Basic Process Flowchart
 Engineers and software designers
often use flowcharts for this
purpose.

 They are particularly helpful when


the project will involve a sequence
of steps that involve decisions.
Swimlane Flowchart
 Businesses often have internal or external requirements for
process documentation. Flowcharts are an excellent tool for
these purposes. From standards reporting to complying with
government regulations.

 In cases where processes have multiple stages, work across


departments, or have other separated categories

 It visually separates the process into separate categories.


Managing Workflow | What is a Workflow Process

 Systems for managing workflow are best illustrated using a workflow diagram.
 These systems can focus on process integration, human task orientation, or
both.
 The goal is to create a consistent, quality output based on a standardized set
of procedures.
Decision
Flowchart
 To visualize the options
in any important
business decision.

 Walk through potential


outcomes and consider
all the questions before
making a decision.
Modeling a Business Process | EPC Diagram
 Wide range of activities. A simple set of tasks or a complex array. Modeling
these processes is done to ensure a consistent, predictable outcome.
 Documenting or modeling a business process is using an event-driven process
chain (EPC) diagram.
 It has a unique library of symbols not found in traditional flowcharts.
Auditing a Process
| Process Map
 For diagnosing a malfunction or to
troubleshoot

 For process improvement,


breaking down processes into
smaller steps,

 A process map is a detailed


flowchart that is a useful tool for
auditing a process.

 These uses are common in the


fields of software and electronics.
Mapping Computer Algorithms | SDL Diagram
 Brainstorming computer algorithms is often accomplished using an
SDL diagram.

 SDL stands for Specification and Description Language.

 It offers a unique set of symbols that are used to map out real-time
systems.

 The three basic components of an SDL diagram are the system

 They are used frequently for program and network design because
they offer a good resource for internal problem solving, they show
customers how to troubleshoot common problems.
Data Management | Data Flow Diagram

 They are specialized flowcharts that distill a substantial amount


of information into a relatively few symbols and connectors.

 Efficient way of bridging the communication gap between


system developers and users.
Chemical and Process Engineering | Process Flow
Diagram
 A process flow diagram (PFD) is a technical illustration also known
as a flowsheet.
 It is used to exhibit high-level processes in chemical and process
engineering.
 It is used for a wide range of engineering applications.
• Oil and petroleum refining
• Natural gas systems
• Green energy, such as wind and solar power
• Water treatment and processes
• Electrical power plants
• Piping and irrigation systems
