WHAT IS A PROCESS
CHART ?
Graphical representation of the
sequence of steps or tasks (workflow)
constituting a process, from raw materials
through to the finished product.
It serves as a tool for examining the
process in detail to identify areas of
possible improvements.
Method study symbols
S.No Symbol Activity Description
Steps in a process of
1. Operation modifying a material, part
or product
For quality (test) or quantity
2. Inspection (count); doesn't change
shape or move product
Movement of workers,
material or equipment from
3. Transport one operation to another;
not if movement is part of
an operation
Work waiting between
4. Delay operations
Controlled, authorization
5. Storage needed to put/retrieve part
into storage

FLOW PROCESS
CHART
FLOW PROCESS CHART
When the overall idea of the process
has been established it is possible to
go into greater details.
Flow process chart can be defined as
a graphical presentation of all
operations, inspections, delays and
storages occurring during a process
or procedure which includes
information considered necessary for
analysis like time required, quantity
and distance moved etc.
TYPES OF FLOW PROCESS
CHART
Man type - It records what
the worker does.
Material type - It records what
happens to the material.
Equipment type - It records how the
equipment is used.
