Flow process chart

Flow process chart is used in quality control to display the action sequence of physical or manual process.
Flow process chart is useful for recording actions and documenting the production process.
Flow process chart helps to analyze and improve the process steps.
Flow process chart is more preferable than flowchart for documenting the mostly sequential processes.
Three types of flow process charts include: 1) man-type charts depicting the person actions, 2) material-type charts displaying the actions with product or material object, 3) equipment-type charts visualizing the useage of tools and equipment.
The set of symbols used in the flow process charts was developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
This flow process chart example was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Matrices solution from the Marketing area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

"Waste minimization is the process and the policy of reducing the amount of waste produced by a person or a society.
Waste minimization involves efforts to minimize resource and energy use during manufacture. For the same commercial output, usually the fewer materials are used, the less waste is produced. Waste minimization usually requires knowledge of the production process, cradle-to-grave analysis (the tracking of materials from their extraction to their return to earth) and detailed knowledge of the composition of the waste. ...
In the waste hierarchy, the most effective approaches to managing waste are at the top. In contrast to waste minimisation, waste management focuses on processing waste after it is created, concentrating on re-use, recycling, and waste-to-energy conversion." [Waste minimisation. Wikipedia]
The process decision program chart (PDPC) example "Minimization of material wastage" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the solution "Seven Management and Planning Tools" from the Management area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
