Step 1 - Examine each process step for the following conditions that indicate a
need to improve the process:
Bottlenecks. These points in the process where it slows down may be caused by
redundant or unnecessary steps, rework, lack of capacity, or other factors.
Weak links. These are steps where problems occur because of inadequate
training of process workers, equipment that needs to be repaired or replaced, or
insufficient technical
documentation. "Inform the drill leader and improvise" is one of the weak links.
Poorly defined steps. Steps which are not well-defined may be interpreted and
performed in a different way by each person involved, leading to process
variation. "Improvise" is a poorly defined step in the weak link cited above.
Step 2 - Examine each decision symbol. You may want to collect data on how
often there is a "yes" or "no" answer at decision points marked by a diamond
shaped symbol. If most
decisions go one way rather than the other, you may be able to remove this
decision point.
Step 3 - Examine each rework loop. Processes with numerous checks
generate rework and waste. Examine the activities preceding the rework loop
and identify those
that need to be improved. Look for ways to shorten or eliminate the loop.
Step 4 - Examine each activity symbol. Does the step help build a key
quality characteristic into the end product? If not, consider eliminating it.
Types of flowchart
Besides the three levels of detail used to categorize Flowcharts, there are
three main
types of flowcharts namely , linear, deployment, and opportunity. The level
of detail can be depicted as macro, mini, or micro for each of these types.
1. Linear Flowchart. A linear flowchart is a diagram that displays the
sequence of work steps that make up a process. This tool can help identify
rework and
redundant or unnecessary steps within a process.
2. Deployment Flowchart. A deployment flowchart shows the actual process
flow and identifies the people or groups involved at each step. Horizontal lines
define customer-supplier relationships. This type of chart shows where the
people or groups fit into the process sequence, and how they relate to one
another throughout the process.
How do we construct a linear flowchart?
Following are the seven steps for developing a linear flowchart
1. Define the process to be flowcharted, and the purpose for flowcharting it.
2. Assemble the right people to develop the flowchart—those operators,
technicians, or office workers who are actually involved in the process.
3. Establish process boundaries—the starting and ending points.
Identify the major activities or sub processes that are included in the process.
Determine what is not included in the scope of the process to remove any doubt
or confusion about the boundaries. This may also help establish the scope of
related processes.
4. List the steps, activities, and decisions to be charted. If your team is not
sure about a step, mark it to be investigated later.
5. Put the steps in chronological sequence. Sometimes it's easier to start with
the last step and work back to the first step.
6. Assign flowchart symbols such as boxes, diamonds, and triangles.
7. Review and title the Flowchart.

APPLICATION:
ASSESSMENT
Directions: Analyze carefully the given task below: Work in a group (5 members
each) and develop a flowchart based on the given situation below.
Your task:
You are a member of a product assembly team in a gaming machine
manufacturer and are looking for ways of building the product more efficiently.
You are asked to break down
the assembly process into a set of flowcharts, showing how sub-assemblies are
made and then built into the final product. Present your developed flowchart to the
team leader.
Scoring Rubrics:
You will be graded according to:
1. Clarity of your flowchart
2. Completeness
3. Accuracy
4. presentation
