Influence Diagram

This sample shows the Influence Diagram. It was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software using the Basic Diagramming Solution from the Universal Diagramming area of ConceptDraw Solution Park. Influence diagram represents the directed acyclic graph with three types of nodes and three types of arcs that connect the nodes. Decision node is drawn as a rectangle, Uncertainty node is drawn as an oval, Value node is drawn as an octagon.

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 DIAGRAM is an alternative to MS Visio for Mac that provides powerful features and intuitive user interface for the same.

How to Simplify Flow Charting

Create Graphs and Charts

Charting Software allows you to create diagrams, charts, graphs, flowcharts, and other business graphics. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM include simple shape drawing tools, examples, templates, and symbol libraries.

Influence Diagram Software

Influence diagram (ID) is a graphical and mathematical representation of the decision. Influence diagrams are widely used in the decision analysis and in the game theory. They are the alternative to the decision tree. The influence diagram gives to analyst the high-level conceptual view that it can use to build the detailed quantitative model. This sample shows the Influence diagram. It is a directed acyclic graph with three types of nodes: Decision node is drawn as a rectangle, Uncertainty node is drawn as an oval, Value node is drawn as an octagon. The nodes are connected with arcs.

EPC - Business Processes in Terms of Work Flows

The Event-driven Process Chain ( EPC ) Diagrams allows users to present business process models in terms of work flows. The EPC diagram can shows various vayes how to reach positive company performance.

Cross Functional Flowchart Examples

Take a look on an example of Cross-Functional-Flowchart, showing the software service cross-function process flowcharts among the different departments. It presents a simple flowchart among the customer, sales, technical support, tester and development. Try now Flowchart Software and Cross-Functional library with 2 libraries and 45 vector shapes of the Cross-Functional Flowcharts solution. Then you can use built-in templates to create and present your software service cross-function process flowcharts.

Risk Diagram (Process Decision Program Chart)

The Risk Diagram or Process Decision Program Chart (PDPC) is intended to determine the risks of potential obstacles during the corrective actions that can be at the cases of their incorrect performing, and helps to develop effective preventive actions. Process Decision Program Chart it's kind of contingency plan to limit the risks, it determines the consequential impacts of failures on the activity plans. The Risk Plans and Process Decision Program Charts can be extended on several levels and take the form of tree or hierarchy, this form is incredibly convenient for representing the risks and countermeasures. ConceptDraw MINDMAP is powerful software tool for Business, Marketing and Project Management. It is also ideal for easy designing MINDMAP Risk Diagram or Process Decision Program Chart, due to the included "7 Management and Planning Tools" solution to ConceptDraw Solution Park. We recommend to start with Process Decision Program Chart (PDPC) template opening it from ConceptDraw STORE or from the Output tab at ConceptDraw MINDMAP application.

Decision Making

The Decision Making solution offers the set of professionally developed examples, powerful drawing tools and a wide range of libraries with specific ready-made vector decision icons, decision pictograms, decision flowchart elements, decision tree icons, decision signs arrows, and callouts, allowing the decision maker (even without drawing and design skills) to easily construct Decision diagrams, Business decision maps, Decision flowcharts, Decision trees, Decision matrix, T Chart, Influence diagrams, which are powerful in questions of decision making, holding decision tree analysis and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), visual decomposition the decision problem into hierarchy of easily comprehensible sub-problems and solving them without any efforts.

Root Cause Analysis

The Seven Management and Planning Tools is a tool for Root Cause Analysis Tree Diagram drawing. This diagram is for Root Cause Analysis. Analyze the root causes for factors that influenced the problem. This diagram is constructed separately for each highly prioritized factor. The goal of this is to find the root causes for the factor and list possible corrective action.

Flowcharts

We have a lot of samples of flowchart diagrams for your needs.

IDEF4 Standard

Use Case Diagrams technology. IDEF4 standard implies not only graphical presentation but the additional information about diagrams of heredity, methods systematization and types which are contained in specifications.

Optimize a Workflow

The first step to optimize a workflow is to get its visual depiction. Then you can analyse and optimize the workflow making changes to your workflow diagram. We recommend to use ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software extended with the Workflow Diagram solution to visualize and optimize your workflow. It allows you produce easy-to-change scalable vector graphic workflow and then present it to your team or partners.

UML Class Diagram Example - Buildings and Rooms

This sample was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software using the UML Class Diagram library of the Rapid UML Solution from the Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park. This sample shows the structure of the building and can be used by building companies, real estate agencies, at the buying / selling of the realty.

When To Use a Fishbone Diagram

Well constructed Fishbone diagrams work for most entrepreneurs and almost any industry or person having a problem. Professional diagramming software may help you create Fishbone (Cause and Effect or Ishikawa) diagrams. When people are unclear about what is causing an issue, ConceptDraw DIAGRAM will be your lifesaver. When to use a Fishbone diagram? Originally developed as a quality control tool, you may find a Fishbone diagram helpful when used in many cases, such as to analyze a complex problem when there are many causes, for identifying all possible root causes for an effect or a problem, when you need different point of view to look on a problem, to uncover bottlenecks and identify where and why a process doesn't work, for acceleration a process when traditional ways of problem solving consume many time.

Professional Diagram and Flowchart Software

ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is a Mac OS X and Windows platforms professional software to draw your own business process diagrams and flowcharts.

Cause and Effect Analysis

When you have some problems you need first to explore the reasons which caused them. Cause and Effect Analysis is a perfect way to do this. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software enhanced with Fishbone Diagrams solution from the Management area of ConceptDraw Solution Park gives the ability to draw fast and easy Fishbone diagram that identifies many possible causes for an effect.

Process Flow Diagram

A Process Flow Diagram (PFD) is a diagram which shows the relationships between the main components in a system. Process Flow Diagrams are widely used by engineers in chemical and process engineering, they allows to indicate the general flow of plant process streams and equipment, helps to design the petroleum refineries, petrochemical and chemical plants, natural gas processing plants, and many other industrial facilities.
