Understanding the Power of Flowcharts in Process Management
Flowcharts visually present the flow of data, operations, and sequences in information processing systems. They offer benefits such as visual clarity, efficient communication, improved coordination, problem-solving, and proper documentation. Learn about the major types of flowcharts, flowchart design rules, and how they aid in process analysis and optimization.

Definition of Flowchart Definition of Flowchart Flowchart is a means to visually present the flow of data through an information processing systems, the operations performed within the system and the sequence in which they are performed. Flow is a representation of a series of logic operations to satisfy specific requirements. A flow exists naturally. It can be irregular, unfixed or full of problems. Chart, or diagram, is a presentation or a written description of some regular and common parts of the flow. A chart is conducive to communication and concentration and offers references for process reengineering. Created by Edraw

Flowchart Benefits Flowchart Benefits 1.Visual Clarity 2.Instant Communication 3. Effective Coordination Sequence events and reduce the potential for overburdening team members. Eliminating unnecessary steps help to save time and resources. Clarifying progresses offers an easy, visual method to help team members instantly understand what they should do. Visualize multiple progresses and their sequence into a single document. 4. Efficiency Increase 5. Effective Analysis 6. Problem Solving 7. Proper Documentation Flowcharts break a problem up into easily definable parts. The defined process displayed demonstrates the method of solving a complex problem. Digital flowcharts serve as a good paperless documentation, which is needed for various purposes, making things more efficient. Flowchart help a designer remove unnecessary steps in a process, as well as errors. With the help of flowchart, problem can be analyzed in more effective way. Created by Edraw
Rules for Flowchart Design A rectangle stand for an action or operation that must be taken to move to the next step in the process. The process itself and the variables involved are written inside the shape. The lines with arrows indicate the work flow and connect each process. The reader follows the arrows from the start, usually starting from the top down or from left to right. Use a diamond to stand for decision. Write the specific conditions near the arrows leading from the conditional diamond, which will often be a simple "TRUE" and "FALSE." Apply a rectangle with the upper edge sloping upwards to indicate a manual input. Created by Edraw
How to Make a Flowchart Identify the right people to develop the chart. Determine what you expect to get from the flowchart. Identify who will use it and how. Define the level of detail you need. Establish the boundaries of the process to be improved. Created by Edraw
Tips to Make Better Flowchart Tips to Make Better Flowchart 1 Get started quickly from a ready-made flowchart template. 2 Take advantage of flowcharting software to simplify and accelerate the process. 3 Make sure all of your objects are properly aligned distributed and labeled. 4 Link websites or other resources to enrich the flowchart. 5 Save your flowcharts as JPEGs to avoid Created by Edraw
How to Interpret Flowcharts 1 Determine who is involved in the process; 2 Form theories about root causes; 3 Identify ways to streamline the process; Determine how to implement changes to the process; 4 5 Locate cost-added-only steps; Provide training on how the process works or should work. 6 Created by Edraw
