Process Diagrams

Structure

  • The diagrams are composed by three parts:

Header, Body and Summary. A general structure is

shown as follows:

General Considerations

  • The distance is written meters and in the lower-left corner of the symbol.
  • A brief description of every step of the process is written at the right side of the symbol.
  • When numbering the process remember that you have to do it according to its function in the diagram, and when you have a simultaneous process you have to write the number on the left first and then in the right, as shown in the example.

Operations Diagram

  • This diagram is a graphic representation of the

operations and inspections in a production process.

In this diagram we’ll include the following symbols:

Description Symbol Operation: is when the process has materials transformation, or involves any action or activity for the creation of products. Inspection: is when we check how the process is going and also the quality of the product during the manufacturing process. Combined: this is an operation- inspection step and is used when in the process you have to check the products during an operation.

Summary (Operations Diagram)

Process Flow Diagram

  • The process flow diagram is a graphic representation of the steps that follows a chronologic sequence of activities in a process or procedure, identifying them with symbols according to its nature, and also includes all the considered important information that is needed for analysis.
  • This helps us discover and eliminate waste and delays, making the process more efficient and increase the productivity in the manufacturing industry.

Process Travel Diagram

  • This diagram uses the same symbolism as the process flow and also the same structure, the only difference is that we draw the diagram in a plan view of the manufacturing plant.
  • Remember to always draw the symbols in a 1 cm 2 area. This is a standard for all the diagrams that you’re going to draw.

Example: Production of Ketchup
