    This document provides guidance on how to interpret and analyze flowcharts to improve processes. It explains that interpreting a flowchart can help determine who is involved, identify root causes, simplify processes, implement changes, locate unnecessary steps, and provide training. It recommends examining each process step, decision symbol, rework loop, and activity symbol to find areas for improvement. Additionally, it outlines how to construct a linear flowchart by defining the process, assembling a team, establishing boundaries, listing steps, sequencing them, assigning symbols, and reviewing the chart.

    INTERPRET TECHNICAL

    DRAWING
    How do you interpret flowcharts?

    A flowchart will help you understand


    your process and uncover ways to
    improve it only if you use it to analyze
    what is happening. Interpreting your
    flowchart will help you to:
    1. Determine who is involved in the
    process
    2. Form theories about root causes
    3. Identify ways to simplify the process
    4. Determine how to implement changes
    5. Locate cost-added-only steps
    6. Provide training on how the process
    work.
    Sequence of steps that will help you through an orderly
    analysis of your flowchart

    1. Examine each process step for the following


    conditions that indicate a need to improve the
    process.
    2. Examine each decision symbol
    3. Examine each rework loop
    4. Examine each activity symbol
    Types of FLOWCHART
    1. Linear Flowchart
    2. Deployment Flowchart
    How do we construct a linear
    flowchart?
    1.Define the process to be flowcharted
    2.Assemble the right people
    3.Establish process boundaries
    4.List of steps, activities and decisions
    5.Put the steps in chronological sequence
    6.Assign flowchart symbol
    7.Review and title
