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.
