Seeking: Process Flow Diagram Form - Format and Content

FWIW - This is the format I submit with PPAPs. While it's a "freebie" with our software, it is easily reproducible in Excel (and AIAG compliant). It's not "pretty" but it does the job.

SmartDraw vs. Visio

cncmarine said:
Visio is hands down the best flow charting software going. Its worth the money and it works great with all microsoft products
Smartdraw is also fully MS Office compatable and a lot cheaper - Visio Professional costs over US$300 more than SmartDraw Professional and the regular version of SmartDraw is about US$170 cheaper than the regular version of Visio. I have used both and SmartDraw is my preference, especially in ease of use and compatability both inside and outside of the MS Office suite.

I think that this thread has changed its real intention.
The initial question was how to produce a process flow diagram for use and submission for PPAP requirements.
General flow chart software questions are in threads such as http://elsmar.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=3933

Typically the flow charts for APQP/PPAP are as simple as Bill Ryan's example.

To broaden the discussion
Does any one submit more elaborate flow charts with PPAP?
Do you use the process flow diagram that you submit with PPAP or an alternative?
