Procedure

Flowchart
A flowchart is a diagram that portrays the existence and flow of steps in a process
using graphic symbols. This method is also known as a "flow diagram."
What Are the Elements of a Flowchart?
Systems analysts also use flowcharts to visualize the sequence of processes in a
business system. A useful tool for developing a viable business system as well as
troubleshooting and improving an existing one. The terminator, method, subprocess,
decision, arrow lines, and connectors are all components of a flowchart.

Elements Function

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.

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.

Sub- - is represented by a rectangle with double lines on each side. A sub- process is
process a major process that could be broken up into simpler processes developed
into another flowchart.
Decision - is represented by a diamond. A process that can answer a decision of "yes" or
"no" requires a decision box.
Connector - is represented by a small circle or a connector box and is labelled 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.
Arrow - drawn in one direction, preferably from top to bottom, keep a flowchart
Lines clear. Avoid arrow lines that loop because this could indicate redundancy in
the business process.

When should teams use flowcharts?

An as-is flowchart will help the team and those who are involved in the process
understand how it actually functions at the outset of the process improvement efforts.
The team might find it useful to compare this as-is flowchart with a diagram of how the
process should operate. Later, the team will develop a flowchart of the way a process is
supposed to work and document how it really functions. Your team may want to create
an ideal flowchart to show how you would ultimately like the process to be performed at
some point.
Benefits of Using Flowcharts
1. Promote understanding of a process.
Different people may have different views on how a method works. A flowchart will
assist you in reaching an agreement on the sequence of events. Flowcharts help
comprehension in a way that written procedures do not. A good flowchart can take the
place of pages of text.
2. Provide a tool for training employees.
Flowcharts can be very helpful in training employees to perform the process
according to standardized procedures because of the way they visually lay out the
sequence of process steps.
3. Identify problem areas and opportunities for process improvement.
Problem areas become more visible once you break down the process steps and
diagram them. Analyzing decision points, redundant steps, and rework loops will help
you spot opportunities for simplifying and optimizing your process.

Basic Flowchart Symbols

Flowcharts uses symbols that have specific meaning and are connected by arrow that
shows the flow from one step to another:

Symbol Name Description

Oval Ovals indicate both the starting point and the ending point of the
process steps.

Box A box represents an individual step or activity in the process.

Diamond A diamond shows a decision point, such as yes/no or go/no-go.

Each path emerging from the diamond must be labeled with one of
the possible answers.

Circle A circle indicates that a particular step is connected to another

page or part of the Flowchart. A letter placed in the circle clarifies
the continuation.

Triangle A triangle shows where an in process measurement occurs.

How do you interpret flowcharts?

A Flowchart If you use a Flowchart to analyze what is happening, it will help you
understand your process and uncover ways to improve it. Interpreting your Flowchart
will help you to:
• Identify who are involved in the process.
• Formulate theories about root causes.
• Identify ways to simplify the process.
• Determine how to carry out and implement changes to the process.
• Locate cost-added-only steps.
• Provide training on how the process works or should work.
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 conditions mentioned below, which suggest
that the process needs to be improved:
Bottlenecks. These are parts in the process where it slows down. These may be caused
by redundant or unnecessary steps, rework, lack of capacity, or other factors.

Weak links. These are steps where problems arise due to insufficient training of process
workers, equipment that needs to be repaired or replaced, or inadequate technical
documentation. "Inform the drill leader and improvise" is one of the weak links.
Poorly defined steps. Steps which are not clearly defined may be interpreted and
performed differently by each person involved which leads to variations of process.
"Improvise" is a poorly defined step in the weak link cited above.
Step 2 - Examine each symbol for a decision. You may want to keep track of how often a
"yes" or "no" response is given at decision points denoted by a diamond-shaped symbol. If
the majority of decisions are taken in one direction, you will be able to eliminate this
decision point.
Step 3 - Take a look at each rework loop. Processes with multiple checks result in
rework and waste. Examine the tasks that come before the rework loop to see which ones
can be changed. Look for ways to cut the loop or get rid of it altogether.
Step 4 - Examine each symbol for action. Does the step help produce a key quality trait
into the end product? If not, consider getting rid of it.
Types of Flowchart
There are three main types of flowcharts, namely linear, deployment, and opportunity
besides the three levels of detail used to categorize Flowcharts. The level of detail can be
represented as macro, mini, or micro for each of these types.
1. Linear Flowchart. A linear flowchart is a diagram that depicts the order in which
work steps in a process are completed. This tool can assist in the identification of rework
as well as redundant or unnecessary steps in a process.
2. Deployment Flowchart. A deployment flowchart portrays the actual process flow
while also defining the individuals or groups involved at each point. Customer-supplier
relationships are characterized by horizontal lines. This type of diagram illustrates where
individuals or groups fit into the mechanism and how they communicate with one
another throughout.
How do we construct a linear flowchart?
The following are the seven steps for developing a linear flowchart
1. Define the process to be flowcharted and why it is flowcharted.
2. Put together the right people to develop the flowchart—those operators, technicians, or
office workers who are actually part in the process.
3. Define the process boundaries—the starting and ending points.
• Determine the major activities or sub processes that are part in the process.
• Define what is not included in the scope of the process to get rid of any doubt or
confusion about the boundaries. This may also help create the scope of related
processes.
4. Enumerate the activities, decisions, and steps to be followed. If your team is not sure
about a step, mark it to be deliberated later.
5. Put the steps in the correct order. It's sometimes easier to start with the last step and
work your way backwards.
