The flowchart is a graphic representation of
an algorithm or process. It is a fundamental
tool for the elaboration of a procedure since
through them we can see graphically and
consecutively the development of a certain
activity. The flowcharts represent graphically
the sequences followed by the operations and a
certain procedure and the route of the forms
or materials show the administrative units
general procedures or the positions involved in
detailed procedures for each described
operation and may also indicate the equipment
used in each case.
