Flowchart A Flowchart Is A Diagram That Uses Graphic Symbols To Depict The Nature and Flow of The Steps in A Process

A flowchart is a diagram that uses graphic symbols to depict the steps in a process. It contains symbols like rectangles, diamonds, and arrows. Rectangles represent processes and sub-processes, diamonds represent decision points, and arrows show the flow and connection between different elements. Flowcharts ensure processes are logically and correctly depicted from start to finish.

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."
ELEMENTS OF A
FLOWCHART
1.) TERMINATOR
- A 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.
2.) PROCESS
- A process is
represented by a
rectangle. It refers to an
action in a business
process. It must be
described clearly and
concisely.
3.) SUB-PROCESS
- A 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.
4.) DECISION
- A decision is
represented by a
diamond. A process that
can answer a decision
of "yes" or "no" requires
a decision box.
5.) CONNECTOR
- A connector is
represented by a small
circle or a connector
box and is labelled using
letters. A connector
ensures that the
processes are
connected logically and
correctly on several
pages.
6.) ARROW LINES
Arrow lines drawn in
one direction, preferably
from top to bottom,
keep a flowchart clear.
BASIC FLOWCHART
SYMBOLS
1.) OVAL. Ovals indicate
both the starting point
and the ending point of
the process steps.
2.) BOX. A box
represents an individual
step or activity in the
process.
3.) DIAMOND. A diamond
shows a decision point,
such as yes/no or go/no-
go. Each path emerging
from the diamond must
be labeled with one of
the possible answers.
4.) CIRCLE. A circle
indicates that a
particular step is
connected to another
page or part of the
Flowchart. A letter
placed in the circle
clarifies the
continuation.
5.) TRIANGLE. A triangle
shows where an in-
process measurement
occurs.
