Manufacture+&+Quality+Control

When managing the actual manufacture and ensuring that your product is made to the highest quality, we use flowcharts to show each of the stages of manufacture, including the finishing off, functuionality and quality check stages. Flow charts are a diagrammatic representation of a set of instructions which must be followed. The diagram shows a sequence of operations, and represents the order in which they are carried out. Flow charts are made up of different boxes, which each have different functions. The symbols are linked together by arrows which indicate the correct sequence of events || Represents the beginning, modifications or end of a process || Used to show part of a general process || Indicates that a decision has to be made and leads to other paths being followed || Shows something added or taken away from the process || media type="custom" key="508819"
 * Using Flow Charts**
 * Flow charts use standard symbols for each type of activity that takes place when carrying out a particular task.
 * [[image:flowchartstart.png]] || **Start / Stop**
 * [[image:flowchartprocess.png]] || **Process**
 * [[image:flowchartdecsion.png]] || **Decision**
 * [[image:flowchartinputoutput.png]] || **Input / Output**
 * For example:** Prepare the pieces of wood for the frame of the mechanical toy, first try this task, then scroll down to see the final flowchart

You can create flowcharts using online tools, which looks neat and tidy, can be saved as **pdf** documents, and printed out or pasted into your A3 sheets as **.jpg** or **.png** images. You can also share your flowcharts and even publish them on the web. I recommend the following software LucidChart, it is free, and all you have to do is create an account to work from. Don't forget to plan your flowchart first.
