Tooling U - SME This class describes the value of current- and future-state charts and how they contribute to quality initiatives. Process flow charts are a means to identify waste and inefficiencies in the production process. Choosing a flow chart depends on the needs and goals of the manufacturer; some charts use symbols and incorporate metrics, while others can simply be drawn by watching activities in the facility.
