Process Flowchart

Process and Factors Affecting Process Design, Metrics

The process used to design the process flowchart is driving to work on a daily basis. Once the vehicle is entered, the following steps are completed, fasten the seatbelt, check gears, insert key and start engine. Next, after verifying traffic is clear and conditions are appropriate, depress the accelerator to accelerate the car and drive to the place of work. Arrival at the destination required the car placed in park and process stops. The following statement best describes the importance, and role of flowcharts.

Creating and analyzing process maps is a key component of Six Sigma DMAIC projects and of basic process management. Managing and improving processes is the core of Six Sigma. In addition, in order to truly understand a process, identify challenges and make improvements, the details of the process must be clarified. Only by creating a detailed process map based on input from those who perform it, and reaching agreement that it does in fact reflect reality rather than expectation, can leaders and project managers gain a full understanding of an existing process (Gundlach, 2011)

The following factors affect the total time to safety reach the destination, and are essential elements of the process flowchart; safety precautions, traffic, gears, and workplace location, with the most important metric time. Time is measured in minutes to measure the status and success of the process design. The following table represents the data used to construct and reference the process flow chart.
