Is it me or are the flow chart procedures examples at *** DEAD LINK REMOVED *** unreadable. The text size is way too small and the colour combinations aren't the best. Are their bigger charts available?

Those are old and were meant to be illustrative. At the time, around 1998, that was the best graphic output I could get for putting in web format.

However, there are many, many examples of flow charts here. Go to the Elsmar Cove Forum Post Attachments Listing and use your browser to Search the page using the search term flow. There are a couple of pages to look through, but there are, as I said, lots of flow chart examples here.

Are you looking for anything specific?

I'm from the generation which is used to MS Visio (2000 and higher) :D

I was orientating myself on how to make a basic flowchart with description (detailed steps, responsibilities) according to ISO 9001, when i tried a search i found myself at the page i was referring to :D

To bad you can't use the forum to search within the attachments.

Technically you can very easily search for text in file names in the attachments listing. The link I set for you was documents only and should have given you about 1000 documents on each page, about 3 pages.

Starting at the top of each page, just use your browser's search function for searching web pages for text. I use Firefox. I got over 20 'hits' on the first page alone.

If I was you I would get several flow charts from the attachments and take a look at them for some ideas. In addition, you mght find if you Search the Elsmar Cove forums using the search term flow or terms flow chart or flowchart, you will find a number of discussion threads about flow charts, many of which have examples attached.

I also use firefox to do the search (way better then using IE for that).

But this way you need to search for yourself instead of letting the forum do the work and displaying the 30 relevant documents only. But this is a limitation by the forum, so for now i'll stick with my browser search function :)

I will look trough the topics for any examples.


Thanks.

Yup - I forgot that one. There are so many examples of flow charts here that I definitely don't remember them all.

I will point out that there are a number of different types of flow charts. Most people now use linear flow charts where Inputs, Outputs, Responsibilities, associated Forms and Documents, etc. are referenced left to right on the page (the flow goes from top to bottom). I can't think of or find an example off hand. I'll try to remember to try to hunt one up later today.

That would be great!
