Types of Flowcharts

A Flowchart is a graphical representation of process, algorithm, workflow or step-by-step solution of the problem. It shows the steps as boxes of various kinds and connects them by arrows in a defined order depicting a flow. There are twelve main Flowchart types: Basic Flowchart, Business Process Modeling Diagram (BPMN), Cross Functional Flowchart, Data Flow Diagram (DFD), IDEF (Integrated DEFinition) Flowchart, Event-driven Process Chain (EPC) Diagram, Influence Diagram (ID), Swimlane Flowchart, Process Flow Diagram (PFD), Specification and Description Language (SDL) Diagram, Value Stream Mapping, Workflow Diagram. Using the Flowcharts solution from the Diagrams area of ConceptDraw Solution Park you can easy and quickly design a Flowchart of any of these types. This solution offers a lot of special predesigned vector symbols for each of these widely used notations. They will make the drawing process of Flowcharts much easier than ever. Pay also attention for the included collection of ready Flowchart examples, samples and quick-start templates. This is business process improvement tools. If you are looking for MS Visio for your Mac, then you are out of luck, because it hasn't been released yet. However, you can use Visio alternatives that can successfully replace its functions. ConceptDraw PRO is an alternative to MS Visio for Mac that provides powerful features and intuitive user interface for the same.

Process Flow Chart Symbols

Process Flow Chart is a visual diagram which shows the processes and relationships between the major components in a system, and uses for this the special process flow chart symbols: special shapes to represent different types of actions and process steps, lines and arrows to represent relationships and sequence of steps. It often named process flow diagram, it use colored flowchart symbols. It is incredibly convenient to use the ConceptDraw PRO software extended with Flowcharts Solution from the "Diagrams" Area of ConceptDraw Solution Park for designing professional looking Process Flow Charts.

Flow Map

A Flow Map is a type of thinking maps which help easy organize and understand information. It consists of the set of boxes and arrows, and visually displays a sequence of events. ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with Flowcharts Solution from the "Diagrams" Area of ConceptDraw Solution Park allows you to draw in a few minutes the Flow Map of any degree of complexity.

Horizontal Flowchart

This sample was created in ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software using the Flowcharts solution from the Diagrams area of ConceptDraw Solution Park. A Flowchart is a graphically representation of the process, algorithm or the step-by-step solution of the problem. The Flowcharts have one or more starting and ending points. The geometric figures on the Flowcharts represent the steps of the process and are connected with arrows that show the sequence of the actions.

Example Basic Flowchart. Flowchart Examples

This sample shows the Flowchart that displays the process of the achievement the consensus, in other words solving for the acceptable solution. This Flowchart has start point. The rectangles on it represent the steps of the process and are connected with arrows that show the sequence of the actions. The diamonds with yes/no shows the decisions. The Flowcharts are widely used in marketing, business, analytics, government, politics, engineering, architecture, science, manufacturing, administration, etc.

Chemistry Equation Symbols

If you are related with chemistry in you work or education activity, you need often draw various illustrations with chemistry equations. ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software offers you the Chemistry solution from the Science and Education area. Chemistry solution provides the Chemical Drawings Library with large quantity of vector chemistry equation symbols to help you create professional looking chemistry diagrams quick and easy.

Flowchart Examples and Templates

ConceptDraw PRO vector diagramming software and ConceptDraw Solution Park provide a wide variety of diagrams, organizational charts, business charts and flowchart examples, templates and samples. You are free to choose any example or template you are interested in from the ConceptDraw STORE, then use it to simplify your work at the designing professional-looking flowcharts and diagrams. As for flowcharts, turn your attention for the Flowcharts solution from the "Diagrams" area of ConceptDraw Solution Park, Process Flowcharts and Cross-Functional Flowcharts solutions from the Business Processes area, Accounting Flowcharts and Audit Flowcharts solutions from the Finance and Accounting area, which are completely devoted to flowcharts creation and provide an enormous collection of helpful flowchart templates and samples. Each of them is specially developed, well thought-out, dedicated to a certain thematic and carries a specific purpose. You need only to determine with your needs and to decide which one corresponds them the best and suits for you.
