Not too long ago I was informed that it is perfectly acceptable to bin all written procedures and replace them with a series of flow diagrams.
I must admit I can see a lot of potential in this, inasmuch that they would be easier to follow and easier to audit/assess.
I bounced the idea off our registar and his viewpoint was that he had no problem with it as long as all requirements were properly covered.
Naturally, these flowcharts are just as easily controlled as text based documents.
I would appreciate comments.
I have, as a trial, completed our contract review procedures in flowchart form using Visio. The result, if I may say so, looks pretty good, and the folks who perform the reviews seemed to like it (well, whilst I was in their office, that is. What they said when I left I do not know!!)
If anyone want to have a look I would gladly email the completed chart at absolutely no charge!!
