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.

How to Draw a Chemical Process Flow Diagram

Process Flow Diagram widely used in modeling of processes in the chemical industry. A Chemical Process Flow diagram (PFD) is a specialized type of flowchart. With the help of Chemical Process Flow Diagram engineers can easily specify the general scheme of the processes and chemical plant equipment. Chemical Process Flow Diagram displays the real scheme of the chemical process, the relationship between the equipment and the technical characteristics of the process. Chemical Process Flow Diagram illustrates the connections between the basic equipment as well as the overall structure of pipelines and other supporting equipment. The purpose of the PFD is to build the image of the basic idea of the chemical process. ConceptDraw PRO together with its Chemical and Process Engineering solution delivers the possibility to design Chemical Process Flow diagrams. It is designed for chemical industry engineers and designers.

Order processing - EPC flow chart

"Order processing is a key element of Order fulfillment. Order processing operations or facilities are commonly called "distribution centers". "Order processing" is the term generally used to describe the process or the work flow associated with the picking, packing and delivery of the packed item(s) to a shipping carrier. The specific "order fulfillment process" or the operational procedures of distribution centers are determined by many factors. Each distribution center has its own unique requirements or priorities. There is no "one size fits all" process that universally provides the most efficient operation." [Order processing. Wikipedia]
The business process modeling (BPM) flowchart example "Order processing - EPC flow chart" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Event-driven Process Chain Diagrams solution from the Business Processes area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

Process flow diagram (PFD) template

"A process flow diagram (PFD) is a diagram commonly used in chemical and process engineering to indicate the general flow of plant processes and equipment. The PFD displays the relationship between major equipment of a plant facility and does not show minor details such as piping details and designations. Another commonly used term for a PFD is a flowsheet. ...
Process flow diagrams of multiple process units within a large industrial plant will usually contain less detail and may be called block flow diagrams or schematic flow diagrams." [Process flow diagram. Wikipedia]
The process flow diagram (PFD) template for the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software is included in the Chemical and Process Engineering solution from the Engineering area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
