Suggest the major benefits of utilizing a flow chart to define
and improve a work process. Outline the key steps required to
construct and develop an effective flow chart.
A flowchart is a graphical technique used to create a descriptive
picture of an operational system (Lewis, McGrath & Seidel,
2011). General systems flowcharting requires the ability to
define when a complex process starts and stops, even if the
process or operation is continuous or repetitive. The work
process should be complex that involves at least two or more
people engaged in at least two or more steps to accomplish
some predetermined objective. Flowcharts are quality
improvement tools used to document, plan, or analyze a process
or series of tasks. The flow charts represent specific activities.
Lieu and Sorby (2015) suggests, there are several benefits of
utilizing a flow chart to define and improve a work process such
improving the process development, to show how a process is
done, display actions performed, random behavior and the
process. The flowcharts and flow diagrams can help people
who learn through seeing comprehend the relationships between
objects or steps (Kimber, Cromley, Molnar-Kimber, 2018).
The key steps required to construct and develop an effective
flow chart is as follows:
the task list is to specify in the order the individual steps and
sequencing in the overall process
adding decisions, files, documents, and other aspects of the
process creates the general systems flow chart.
Making sure the Flow data is from left to right and top to
bottom
Make sure it is all on one page
Use lines to determine the direction on the chart
