A flowchart is a graphical representation of activities that make up a process. Flowcharting a process down to the task level is the basis for analyzing and improving the process.

There are several different types of flowcharts:

  • Block diagrams are the simplest and provide a quick overview

  • ANSI standard flowcharts provide more detail on the interrelationships between activities in a process. ANSI is the American National Standards Institute, a governing body for technical standards
  • Functional flowcharts show the process flow between organizations and groups
  • Geographic flowcharts depict process flow between physical locations
