Flowchart

A flowchart is a diagram that uses graphic symbols to depict the nature and flow of the steps
in a process. Another name for this tool is "flow diagram."

What Are the Elements of a Flowchart?

A flowchart is commonly used by systems analysts to visualize the series of processes

in a business system. A flowchart is a useful tool to design an efficient business system and to
troubleshoot or improve an existing system. A flowchart consists of elements, such as the
terminator, process, sub process, decision, arrow lines, and connectors.

1. Terminator

A terminator is represented by a small rectangle with curved corners. A terminator

appears at the start and at the end of a flowchart. The end terminator appears only
once on a single flowchart.

2. Process

A process is represented by a rectangle. It refers to an action in a business process.

It must be described clearly and concisely. A process can be described using a single
verb- noun phrase; for example, "Order Office Supplies." The same level of detail
must be kept in processes on a single flowchart.

3. Sub-process

A sub-process is represented by a rectangle with double lines on each side. A sub-

process is a major process that could be broken up into simpler processes
developed into another flowchart.

4. Decision

A decision is represented by a diamond. A process that can answer a decision of

"yes" or "no" requires a decision box.
5. Connector

A connector is represented by a small circle or a connector box and is labeled using

letters. A flowchart written on a single page is clearer than a flowchart on several
pages. A connector ensures that the processes are connected logically and correctly
on several pages.

8
 6. Arrow Lines

Arrow lines drawn in one direction, preferably from top to bottom, keep a flowchart
clear. Avoid arrow lines that loop because this could indicate redundancy in the
business process.

When should teams use flowcharts?

At the beginning of your process improvement efforts, an as-is flowchart helps your team
and others involved in the process to understand how it currently works. The team may find it
helpful to compare this as-is flowchart with a diagram of the way the process is supposed to work.
Later, the team will develop a flowchart of the modified process again, to record how it functions.
At some point, your team may want to create an ideal flowchart to show how you would ultimately
like the process to be performed.

BENEFITS OF USING FLOWCHARTS

1.Promote understanding of a process.

People may have differing ideas about how a process works. A flowchart can help you
gain agreement about the sequence of steps. Flowcharts promote understanding in a way
that written procedures cannot do. One good flowchart can replace pages of words.

2.Provide a tool for training employees.

Because of the way they visually lay out the sequence of process steps, flowcharts can
be very helpful in training employees to perform the process according to standardized
procedures.

3. Identify problem areas and opportunities for process improvement.

Once you break down the process steps and diagram them, problem areas become more
visible. It is easy to spot opportunities for simplifying and refining your process by analyzing
decision points, redundant steps, and rework loops.

Basic Flowchart Symbols

The symbols that are commonly used in flowcharts have specific meanings and are
connected by arrows indicating the flow from one step to another:

 NAME SYMBOL DESCRIPTION

Also known as the

“Terminator Symbol,” this
Oval symbol represents the start
points, end points, and
potential outcomes of a path.
Often contains “Start” or
“End” within the shape.
Also known as an “Action
Symbol,” this shape
Box represents a process, action,
or function. It is the most
widely used symbol in
flowcharting.
A diamond shows a decision
point, such as yes/no or
Diamond go/no-go. Each path
emerging from the diamond
must be labeled with one of
the possible answers.

A circle indicates that a

particular step is connected
Circle to another page or part of the
Flowchart. A letter placed in
the circle clarifies the
continuation.

A line is a connector that

Arrow shows relationships between
the representative shapes.

This shape represents data

Parallelogram that is available for input or
output as well as
representing resources used
or generated.

A triangle shows where an in-

Triangle process measurement occurs.

To log in to Facebook account we first enter the Facebook URL www.facebook.com in

our browser like Google, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer etc. This request is sent to the
Facebook server and it responds by sending us the home page of Facebook.

Next, we enter our registered Email ID and Password and click the Login button.

Then our login credential is checked. If it is correct, we are show our profile. On the other
hand, if the login credential is wrong then an error occurs, and we are prompted to re-enter our
Email ID and Password.

How do you interpret flowcharts?

A Flowchart will help you understand your process and uncover ways to improve it only if you
use it to analyze what is happening. Interpreting your Flowchart will help you to:

❖ Determine who is involved in the process.

❖ Form theories about root causes.
❖ Identify ways to streamline the process.
❖ Determine how to implement changes to the process.
❖ Locate cost-added-only steps.
❖ Provide training on how the process works or should work.

12
Below is a sequence of steps that will help you through an orderly analysis of your
flowchart.

Step 1 - Examine each process step for the following conditions

that indicate a need to improve the process:

Bottlenecks. These points in the process where it slows down may be

caused by redundant or unnecessary steps, rework, lack of capacity,
or other factors.

Weak links. These are steps where problems occur because of

inadequate training of process workers, equipment that needs to be
repaired or replaced, or insufficient technical documentation. "Inform the drill leader and
improvise" is one of the weak links.

Poorly defined steps. Steps which are not well-defined may be interpreted and performed in a
different way by each person involved, leading to process variation. "Improvise" is a poorly
defined step in the weak link cited above.

Step 2 - Examine each decision symbol.

You may want to collect data on how often there is a "yes" or "no" answer at decision points
marked by a diamond shaped symbol. If most decisions go one way rather than the other, you
may be able to remove this decision point.

Step 3 - Examine each rework loop.

Processes with numerous checks generate rework and waste. Examine the activities preceding
the rework loop and identify those that need to be improved. Look for ways to shorten or eliminate
the loop.
Step 4 - Examine each activity symbol.
Does the step help build a key quality characteristic into the product? If not, consider eliminating
it.

Types of Flowchart

Besides the three levels of detail used to categorize Flowcharts, there are three main types
of flowcharts, namely linear, deployment, and opportunity. The level of detail can be depicted as
macro, mini, or micro for each of these types.

1. Linear Flowchart. A linear flowchart is a diagram that displays the sequence of work
steps that make up a process. This tool can help identify rework and redundant or unnecessary
steps within a process.

2. Deployment Flowchart. A deployment flowchart shows the actual process flow and
identifies the people or groups involved at each step. Horizontal lines define customer- supplier
relationships. This type of chart shows where the people or groups fit into the process sequence,
and how they relate to one another throughout the process.

13
 How do we construct a linear flowchart?

Following are the seven steps for developing a linear flowchart

1. Define the process to be flowcharted, and the purpose for flowcharting it.
2. Assemble the right people to develop the flowchart—those operators, technicians, or
office workers who are involved in the process.
3. Establish process boundaries—the starting and ending points.
• Identify the major activities or sub processes that are included in the process.
• Determine what is not included in the scope of the process to remove any doubt or
confusion about the boundaries. This may also help establish the scope of related
processes.
4. List the steps, activities, and decisions to be charted. If your team is not sure about a
step, mark it to be investigated later.
5. Put the steps in chronological sequence. Sometimes it is easier to start with the last
step and work back to the first step.
6. Assign flowchart symbols such as process, decision, and data.
7. Review and title the Flowchart.

ACTIVITY 1:

Directions: Write T if the statement is true and F if the statement is false. Write your answer
on a separate sheet of paper.

1. A line is a connector that shows relationships between the representative shapes.

2. A terminator appears at the start only of a flowchart.
3. A letter placed in the connector clarifies the continuation.
4. Do not avoid arrow lines that loop because this could indicate redundancy in the business
process.
5. A decision is a major process that could be broken up into simpler processes developed
into another flowchart.
