Flow charts represent steps in a process or workflow using boxes connected by arrows. They are used to analyze, design, and document programs. Common box types include ovals for start/end, rectangles for processing steps, parallelograms for input/output, and diamonds for decision making. The team analyzed the student admission process, identified issues like repeated student names and long verification times, and proposed solutions like assigning preferences during application and using online slots to reduce verification wait times. They learned how to examine processes systematically using flow charts.
2. Flow chart
Flow chart is one type of algorithm , which represents steps in work flow or process by using boxes
which are connected with arrows
It’s used for analysing, designing, and documenting of programme
Common type of boxes in flow chart are:
start/end is denoted by oval
processing step is denoted Rectangular box
input/output is denoted by parallelogram
Decision making is denoted by Diamond box
One of the seven basic tools of quality control
Alternative names: flow chart, process flow chart, process model etc..
