ASSIGNMENT: Creating a Flowchart

 

ASSIGNMENT: Creating a Flowchart

In this Assignment, you select a common event that occurs regularly in your organization and create a flowchart representing the workflow. You will analyze the process you have diagrammed and propose changes for improvement.

PREPARE:  Identify a common, simple event in you organization to evaluate; consider how you would design a flowchart to represent the current workflow.  Consider what metrics (measurement of your sucess!) you would use to determine the effectiveness of the current workflow and identify areas of waste.

WRITE a 3- to 5-page paper which includes the following:

Create a simple flowchart of the activity you selected; (see the guidance document below for help in a flowchart design)

• Explain the process you have diagrammed.
• Include the required detail about the process as well as the metric that is currently used to measure the soundness of the workflow. Is it effective?
• Describe any areas where improvements could occur and propose changes that could bring about these improvements in the workflow.
• Summarize why it is important to be aware of the flow of an activity.

Remember to include a cover page, introduction, and summary for your paper. Flowcharts will generally be an appendix in the paper.

See the attached guidance document for help in this assignment. (Ignore the possible points, this were used prior to the current grading rubric) There are examples of Workflow Diagrams in the attachment.
