Basic Flowchart Symbols and Meaning

This arrow ring chart sample was created on the base of the figure illustrating the webpage "National Preparedness Cycle. Plan" from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) website. "Planning makes it possible to manage the entire life cycle of a potential crisis. Strategic and operational planning establishes priorities, identifies expected levels of performance and capability requirements, provides the standard for assessing capabilities and helps stakeholders learn their roles. The planning elements identify what an organization’s Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) or Emergency Operations Plans (EOPs) should include for ensuring that contingencies are in place for delivering the capability during a large-scale disaster."

The arrow ring chart example "National Preparedness Cycle" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Target and Circular Diagrams solution from the Marketing area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

The vector stencils library Comparison charts contains 4 Live Objects: Horizontal bar chart, Column chart (Vertical bar chart), Line chart and Dot plot (Scatter chart).
The vector stencils library Comparison indicators contains 7 Live Objects:
Two column indicator, Two bubbles indicator, Scales indicator, Left and right arrows indicator, Up and down arrows indicator, Two up arrows indicator.
The ConceptDraw Live Objects are ready-to-use templates of charts and visual indicators for dashboard design. You can set data source file for Each Live Object, and your charts or indicators will represents actual data from the data source files, and change their appearance with changing of the data in source files. The comparison charts and indicators are useful to compare and rank of your data by categories.
Use the design elements libraries "Comparison charts" and "Comparison indicators" to create your own business visual dashboards using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
The example "Design elements - Comparison charts and indicators" is included in the Comparison Dashboard solution from the area "What is a Dashboard" of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

"BPM life-cycle.
Business process management activities can be grouped into six categories: vision, design, modeling, execution, monitoring, and optimization.
Functions are designed around the strategic vision and goals of an organization. Each function is attached with a list of processes. Each functional head in an organization is responsible for certain sets of processes made up of tasks which are to be executed and reported as planned. Multiple processes are aggregated to function accomplishments and multiple functions are aggregated to achieve organizational goals." [Business process management. Wikipedia]
