Abstraction
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."
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
(input and output), decision that must be made, people who become involved, time involved at
each step and/ or process measurement.

Basic Flowchart Symbols

The symbols that are commonly used in flowcharts (Viewgraph 3) have specific meanings and
are connected by arrows indicating the flow from one step to another:
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.
