Essays on Flowchart

Introduction

McGonigle & Mastrian (2012) define a flowchart as a blueprint of all the steps involved in a process, which are arranged in a sequential order with the inclusion of the units and persons participating in the task. It is a visual representation of activity from the beginning to the end. Process charts are useful in standardizing activities, exposing redundancies, and getting rid of wastes (Huser, Rasmusen, Oberg, & Starren, 2011). They are also helpful in identifying areas that need modification and providing effective communication of the steps to relevant staff, which enhances safety and care in the delivery of services.

In the last years of the 1970s, there was global concern over the discovery of a deadly virus that resulted in outbreaks of a hemorrhagic fever in West Africa (Peters & LeDuc, 1999). The high rate of death and the contagious nature of the disease was a cause of concern to the international medical community and researchers combined efforts to discover the cause, etiology, effective therapies, and methods of control of what would come to be known as the Ebola virus. Although there have been few cases reported outside West Africa, the potential for the spread of the disease prompts ...

Gun violence is a multi-faceted issue that plagues modern American society. It becomes even more tragic when you consider that a lot of gun related crimes are committed by juveniles, and the number of such offenses is rising every day. For instance, here’s a report by the National Center for Health Statistics: “the handgun homicide rate for this age group increased 158 percent from 1984 to 1993. These data contrast sharply with a 19-percent decline in firearm murders among those individuals age 24 and older for the same time period.“ (Wilson, 2000) Those statistics are the proof that ...

Figure 2: Supply Chain Flow Chart (Angerhofer & Angelides, 2000)

SUMMARY:

Flowcharting involves invaluable equipment that assists in reviewing as well as examining an overall supply chain sequences. Figure 2 presents a flow chart. In a basic form rectangle, boxes are often utilized in representing activities, and the arrows are made to use with an aim of showing the link that involves different other activities. The flowchart objective is to illustrate the way different activities fit as one so that the knowledge concerning the process can be possibly developed. The ...

Sorting Algorithms

Introduction Sorting refers to arranging items in a desired manner. This operation finds plenty of applications in real life like searching algorithms, processing data, and for producing human-friendly output. The sorting problem has caught the attention of many researchers. As a result, we find many algorithms to optimize this problem in the required fashion. In this report, we will consider two important sorting algorithms to give readers brief idea about how data management and ordering is done. These sorting algorithms are Insertion sort and Shell sort.

Insertion Sort

It is one of the simplest sorting algorithms based on comparisons between items ...

iTech has implemented a quality management system meeting the requirements of ISO 9001:2008. The purpose is to define the standard operating procedures (SOP) for the requirements of the iTech quality management system.

Scope

This document determines about the standard operating procedures for all the processes of iTech’s quality management systems that are inclusive of production and non-production processes. The document presents and determines the interaction and sequences of these processes. It describes the purpose and activity of each process and the corresponding input and output conditions. All the applicable sections of ISO 9001:2008 are identified per each of the ...

SECTION I

Introduction The paper will outline an online shopping routine that a buyer goes through on a regular basis when searching for household goods, office equipment or outdoor items on Amazon. The preference to online shopping is largely because of the flexibility, the associated discounts and the variety available, all this through a web browser. In this instance, I will use the analogy of online shopping for a smartphone through the existing and the improved process flowchart.

SECTION II

The existing online shopping process that a buyer goes through routinely involves the following process:- (See existing flowchart on page 4 and 5)

Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO), 2010 noted that recent research has identified several psychosocial and biologic risk factors for postpartum depression (PPD). Early recognition is one of the major challenges with this overwhelming mood disorder. The main focus of this project is to provide easy access to educational materials to aid in the screening, assessment, and treatment of women who experience depression during pregnancy or the postpartum period. PPD was amended by The American Psychiatric Association, in the 2013 Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), to peripartum depression and specifies that the onset of mood disturbance can ...
