Abstract:
Flowcharts graphically represent the steps in creating a product
or service. The process of creating a chart is often beneficial
because personnel may be unaware of all the “nitty-gritty” details
involved in producing the product. Also, people often are surprised
to learn of the differences between the ideal process flow and what
actually occurs in the mill. This is particularly true when the team
developing the chart includes representatives of all departments of
the plant, not just production personnel.
