 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 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.

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-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.
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 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.
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 actually 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 (View graph 3) have specific
meanings and are connected by arrows indicating the flow from one step to another:

Symbol Name Description

Ovals indicate both the starting

Oval point and the ending point of
the process steps.

A box represents an individual

Box step or activity in the process.

A diamond shows a decision

point, such as yes/no or go/no-
go. Each path emerging from
Diamond
the diamond must be labeled
with one of the possible
answers.

11
 A circle indicates that a
particular step is connected to
another page or part of the
Circle Flowchart. A letter placed in the
circle clarifies the continuation.

A triangle shows where an in-

Triangle process measurement occurs.

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.

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 end 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

14
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.

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 the purpose for flowcharting it.

2. Assemble the right people to develop the flowchart—those operators, technicians,

or office workers who are actually 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's easier to start with the
last step and work back to the first step.
6. Assign flowchart symbols such as boxes, diamonds, and triangles.

7. Review and title the Flowchart.
