Process Flow Charts Introduction
				
					- Do you have a graphic representation of your processes?
 
					- Do your staff between departments (e.g. QA and Production) have the same understanding of process flow?
 
					- Do you have all test / QC points in processes clearly defined?
 
					- Do you train new staff on using flow charts to identify work methods and procedures?
 
					- Do you use a flow chart to locate a problem in the process?
 
				 
				
					Process Flow Chart (PFC) is a method to allow people to understand the sequence of events that leads to the finished product or service. A PFC shows the inter-dependencies between events and allow members to visualize the individual activities of a process or service. A PFC can significantly reduce verbose explanatory notes with greater accuracy.
				 
				
					Benefits Of Attending The Process Flow Charts Course
				
				
					The Process Flow Chart training enables the delegates to: 
					
						- Understand the importance of Process Flow Chart. 
 
						- Learn to draw Process Flow Charts (e.g. Block diagrams, Manufacturing Flow charts, Fault Tree, etc.). 
 
						- Build decision rules into Process Flow Charts so that there are no gaps in decision. 
 
						- Reduce lengthy written procedures to crisp flow charts with short description. 
 
						- Integrate Process Flow Charts into routine team presentations, discussion and development processes. 
 
					 
					
					
						Who Should Attend The Process Flow Charts Training ?
					
					
						Process Flow Chart training is fundamental to the clarity of thought processes. Process Flow Chart Course will be most appropriate for those involved in Design, R&D, Reliability, Maintenance, Quality, Engineering, Manufacturing and Production. Teams are encouraged to attend for maximum benefit.
