A flowchart is a picture of the separate steps of a process in sequential order.
Elements that may be included are: sequence of actions, materials or services entering or leaving the process (inputs and outputs), decisions that must be made, people who become involved, time involved at each step and/or process measurements.
The process described can be anything: a manufacturing process, an administrative or service process, a project plan. This is a generic tool that can be adapted for a wide variety of purposes.
2. A flowchart is a type of diagram that
represents an algorithm, workflow or process,
showing the steps as boxes of various kinds,
and their order by connecting them with
arrows.
This diagrammatic representation illustrates a
solution model to a given problem.
Used in analyzing, designing, documenting
or managing a process or program in various
fields.
Introduction to flowcharts
3. The two most common types of boxes in flowchart
are:
a processing step, usually called activity, and
denoted as a rectangular box
a decision, usually denoted as a diamond.
There are generally four types of flowcharts:
Document flowcharts, showing controls over
a document-flow through a system
Data flowcharts, showing controls over a
data-flow in a system
System flowcharts showing controls at a
physical or resource level
Program flowchart, showing the controls in
a program within a system

5. 1. Macro flowchart shows only main
topics whereas micro flowchart gives
detailed information about these
topics.
2. Macro flowchart is easy to design as
comparative to micro flowchart.
3. Macro flowchart is difficult to study and
understand as comparative to micro
flowchart.
Difference between macro and micro

7. Trouble spots
Problem 1
•Unavailability of transportation facilities.
Problem 2
•Unfavorable weather conditions.
•Scorching heat of June and July
Problem 3
•Lack of accommodation facilities
8. Problem 1
The first problem that arises is the
lack of transportation. The campus
being expanded over a larger area
requires the applicants to proceed
to different departments for the
admission process. Thus , this makes
the process a tedious and tiring
task.
9. Problem 2
The next problem that
applicants face is the
unfavorable weather
condition. The scorching sun
of June makes us feel
uncomfortable to stroll.
The process requires a lot of
work and hence
concentration but this
blistering summer season
makes the task difficult to
carry on .
10. Problem 3
Another issue worth discussing is
that of improper and lack of
accommodation facilities.
People travelling from far places for
the admission process are not able
to find an accommodation . This
makes them feel dejected.
11. SOLUTIONS
Solution 1
• Availability of Matadors for moving from
department to department.
Solution 2
• The process of admission should take place
in months that are comparatively less
blistering.
Solution 3
• Construction of more guest houses.
• Proper accommodation for guardians.

currently working and how they could be
improved.
•flowcharts can be used as problem solving
tools.
• They make logic clear and easier to follow.
•Flowcharts are a better way of communicating.
•They help in analyzing the problems effectively.
•They serve as good documentation tool.
