Introduction
A Flowchart represents the graphical schematization of an algorithm, whichgraphically
shows the steps or processes to follow to achieve the solution to aproblem. Its correct
construction is extremely important because, from it, a programis written in some
Programming Language. If the flowchart is complete and correct,the transition from it to a
programming language is relatively simple and direct.
It is important to highlight that the Flow Diagram shows the system as anetwork of
functional processes connected to each other by "Pipes" and"Repositories" of data that
allows describing the movement of data through theSystem. This will describe: Places of
Origin and Destination of the data,Transformations to which the data is subjected, Places
in which the data is storedwithin the system, The channels through which the data
circulates
WHAT IS A FLOWCHART
A flow chart is a diagram that describes a computer process, system, oralgorithm. They
are widely used in numerous fields to document, study, plan,improve and communicate
often complex processes in clear, easy-to-understanddiagrams. Flowcharts use rectangles,
ovals, diamonds, and numerous othershapes to define the type of step, along with
connecting arrows that establish theflow and sequence. They can range from simple,
hand-drawn diagrams tocomprehensive computer-created diagrams that describe
multiple steps and paths.If we take into account all the various figures in flowcharts, they
are one of themost common diagrams in the world, used by people with and without
technicalknowledge in a variety of fields.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A FLOW CHART
Flowcharts are a widely used tool to represent and study the processes ofany organization
due to a series of characteristics such as:
. It is a simple tool to use with a minimum of training/training to draw andinterpret them..
It visually represents a schematic form of all the steps that a process goesthrough.. A
symbology is used in each of the steps that a process follows.. It can be used to draw a
complex process or divide it into sub-processesand draw a flow chart by each of them..
Shows the value that is contributed in each of the steps to achieve the finalobjective of
the process (each step of the process contributes something toachieve the final objective).
They form one of the tools to achieve continuous improvement inorganizations by
studying and considering how processes are developed inorganizations
