Nice Topic

I also want to know about this process.
Hope we will learn here.

Even given the same or similar end products, no two processes are exactly alike, and the differences are the result of things we don't know about a specific process. In general, the process flow starts with some kind of input (raw material, e.g.) then processing (transforming the input material) and ends with output (the final product, or the final product for a given process). The best way to determine how to diagram a process is to see it working. If you tell us more about your process and why you're asking the question we can provide more specific advice.

Thank you Jim, Atually we are helping a friend who is new to label manufacturing, and he would like to see a generic flow of label die cutting process and the inspection points that need to be created, e.g in process inspection,etc

thank you

The ones I had seen are exactly like any simple stamping process. You normally inspect the first few pieces after setting up to make sure it right and then proceed thereon. Subsequently, it's just popping by on and off to make sure things are alright.

You may want to have a look at this web page for some/more info. But this is a combined print & cut process.

Inspection is (or should be) done to mitigate risk. The risks inherent in your friend's process may be different from someone else's, for many different reasons. It seems that if you and your friend do a process FMEA you might find the answers you're looking for. Note that a PFMEA usually begins with a simple flow diagram. You should be able to create this without help--it's a matter of Input-Processing-Output. Look at the opportunities for failure in each step and develop control methods for each one. Note also that control information doesn't have to appear in a flow diagram. The PFMEA should be used to develop the controls, and the result might be some sort of control plan and/or work instructions.
