“We have to look and ensure that we’re paying attention to what we’re doing, so that we don’t reflexively institute processes and procedures that exclude people without thought” – Sonia Sotomayor
Evolution implies natural processes that propel growth and diversification in domains as varied as plant and animal biology, geology, geography, weather systems, the use of technology, institutional processes, political thought, industrial systems, academic curricula, etc. In light of this assertion, we could state the process of evolution encompasses a sequence of procedures that lead into each other, propel the overarching process, lend meaning to the tenor and components of larger processes, and drive series of outcomes. Therefore, we could assume a procedure flowchart represents the ideal device that helps designers to build/design/encode a variety of processes, procedures, sub-processes – and their attendant themes and infuse multiplicity in terms of variations. Such a device also confers on designers an assortment of tools and techniques that help design a certain procedure, develop and diversify underlying mechanisms, implement different denominations of value inside procedures, instil discipline in the stages that drive processes and procedures, and shape these schematic structures to drive desired outcomes.
Military strategists can design a procedure flowchart to illustrate different techniques of war fighting including defense, assault, reinforcements, etc. This illustration must essentially encode the outcomes of contemporary (and historic) lines of thought and strategy in this specific domain. Such a flowchart, for instance, can spell out the best practices for naval and land warfare, help define elements of declared military doctrine, and illustrate a variety of maneuvers in grand detail. The various components positioned inside the flowchart can assist drive the evolution of military tactics, illustrate methods to secure victory in a variety of battlefields, and outline the various procedures therein. An intelligent reading of such a procedure flowchart can instruct readers in the fine art of surveying outcomes, analyzing tactics, and deconstructing the impact on the opposition. In addition, the expanse of such a flowchart can spark insights into the future of this domain, thereby spurring evolution in the thought, tactics, techniques, and strategy that inform and enrich modern war fighting.
Teachers, instructors, and academia can benefit from various editions of procedure flowchart that examine the fundamentals of the teaching process. We could assume such an illustration maps the various actions and activities that animate said process. In line with this, the flowchart could emerge as a series of clusters – each of which denotes stages such as teacher training and preparation, conducting lessons in traditional classroom environments, examinations and their attendant procedures, the evaluation of students’ performance, various forms of learning activities, personalized instruction for special learners and students, and others. These components, when outlined inside a procedure flowchart, empower teachers and instructors to gain deep understanding of the formal education system, its dynamics and its essential mechanics. Such illustrations also mark a preliminary step toward a new analysis of modern education, undertaken with a view to effect refinements, embellishments, and upgrades to the underlying procedures.
Observation and analysis represent the core tenets of modern scientific analysis. These concepts can fuel the creation of a procedure flowchart that attempts to assess the efficacy of batches of scientific experiments. Pursuant to this, the flowchart could feature different stages that outline the concept of observing natural phenomenon, deducing the scope and nature of outcomes, and analyzing the results obtained. A separate panel positioned inside the illustration could relay specific information in the form of bullet points. Such an endeavor conveys different strands of knowledge and information viewed in different contexts, hence making the flowchart an ambassador of validated data and information. The various procedures could expand the flavor of information through stages and sub-stages, thereby adding balance and variety to the reader’s experience. Further, the act of viewing the visual platform of flowcharts (and their contents) helps de-mystify modern science to the average human reader, thereby furthering the objective of transmitting information to large audiences.
Conducting an analysis of procedures remains critical when we consider broad imperatives, such as driving commercial profits inside the operations of an industrial conglomerate. Such initiatives must essentially hinge on ideas such as locating and eliminating avenues of wasted effort, wasted resources, etc. For instance, an online business operator could design a procedure flowchart as part of efforts to refurbish business processes that operate in the digital domain. This endeavor could target established procedures such as customer check-ins and shopping cart operations inside a mobile e-commerce application. The analysis could seek to eliminate long sequences of actions and stages that power current operations in favor of succinct acts compressed inside a few swipes effected by the average shopper. In addition, the results of the analysis could be molded to improve and refine the customer experience, sharpen the competitive edge of the sponsor business, and generate an immediate boost to the commercial fortunes of the sponsor enterprise. The flowchart serves as a crucial enabler in such voyages, thereby validating the idea of deploying visual media to aid modern commerce.
Alternative sequences (of stages, sub-stages, sequences, or work routines) could be the defining motif of a stalwart business continuity program framed and defined inside the expanse of procedure flowchart. Such an illustration could emerge as a layered diagram depicting horizontal sequences of connected actions, ideas, interventions, and others. An interesting aspect of such an endeavor finds expression in the rank similarity of outcomes that emerge from each layer. This indicates the fact business continuity programs must engineer and project a zero-tolerance attitude toward disruptions that may impact the play of normal business processes. Such a procedure flowchart must include a wide variety of alternative inputs, locations, variations, and workarounds. Intelligent designers must therefore, survey the landscape to assess (the scope, variety, and nature) of disruptions that could possibly impact processes; such a stance allows them to develop immense variety into business continuity programs that can service business requirements in the face of different manifestations of disruption.
Sets of activities that denote manufacturing processes, assembly processes, and quality control procedures could form the mainstay of a procedure flowchart. Such a master illustration, when complete, could feature the entire depth and width of an industrial process or procedures ensconced inside a formal blueprint or document. Each stage designed inside the illustration represents a microcosm of modern industrial activity pertaining to, for instance, the modern crude oil refining industry. In addition, upstream and downstream stages could add layers of complexity and substance to said diagram, thereby helping create a detailed map featuring multiple, multi-stage procedures. Such an illustration must find completion inside multiple editions of diagrams and illustrations, thereby projecting visual images of dazzling complexity. Logic, fact, and constant validations must accompany the creation of such illustrations; these factors can assist designers create processes featuring unerring precision, an attribute that removes the dangers posed by complicated re-design or re-engineering efforts.
The average designer could utilize these ideas and explorations to brainstorm concepts of various procedure flowcharts. However, each attempt at creation must rely on original ideas paired with the vision engendered by domain experts. Such an alliance can output distinguished instances of multi-stage diagrams that help etch the outlines and contents of various procedures. Further, the impulse to create procedure-based flowcharts must resonate with real-world instances of industrial, commercial, scientific, or investigative procedures. This approach could potentially lend massive heft to illustrations, thereby validating their existence in the eyes of readers and reviewers.
