let me add in "shameless commerce" that I note the ad column to the right side of this page has "picked up" the topic and offers ads for flow chart ware.
[added as edit: I have looked at this thread three times and each time the ads change - it may have been pure coincidence that they had three flow chart software ads when I first viewed the thread.]
Let me further suggest that "too many documents" is very subjective. Without knowing the content of the documents in conjunction with the business of your operation, a comment based on the sheer number of documents alone is "irresponsible" at best and "incompetent" at worst.
The theme of Quality Standards has evolved to "process" thinking. Therefore, knee-jerk reaction by many is that the only way to present or depict documentation is via flow charts. This is like saying the only way to express a speech is by the means of PowerPoint.
Continuing the analogy - some PowerPoint users cripple themselves and their audiences by merely reading the slides out loud to the audience
(I guess this works for blind or illiterate audiences), omitting all the nuances and details behind the bullet points on the slide. Similarly, in their rush to give an instantly comprehensible overview, flow chart creators often omit the details of an operation which mean the difference between success and failure. Recently, we had a post which reproduced a 1952 era work instruction for sweeping. If your documentation is that obsessive in detail, perhaps it needs updating, but don't go overboard in the other direction.
Updating documentation is fine, but make sure it reflects the true operation and serves the business purpose of the organization, rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater in some mad rush to leap when some outsider says "Jump!"
