PROCESS FLOWCHART under DMAIC METHODOLOGY

A Process Flowchart basically provides a visual representation of the steps in a process.

It is generally developed under the DMAIC methodology under the Define phase in Six Sigma.

It has several benefits :-

1.)  Not all team members are familiar with the                 entire process at the start of the project.

Developing a process flowchart in a group session gives all team members a full appreciation for the inputs , outputs , controls and value-added operations.

2.)  A good flowchart helps structuring the analyse            phase as team members consider possible                  sources       of variation :-

Its easy with flowchart to overlook major causes of variation , and a complete process flowchart will help minimize the risk.

In the given image it is the simple type of process flowchart and from this we can easily understand that how the process flowcharts are constructed.
