Do you want a graphical flowchart to depict the flow of instant noodle-cooking preparation?

Regards, Joey

The sample posted is wrong at the beginning. The first and the end process "box" should be of a "rounded" shaped a.k.a terminator a.k.a terminal point and the subsequent "box" is in "rectangular" shaped a.k.a process (and it could be alternate process which is almost shaped like a rectangular but with an rounded/smooth edges. If it's a looping possibilities, it should be a "diamond" shaped a.k.a preparation or maybe you can use decision (shaped like a square but it's positioned like a diamond and it could be a "hexagonal" shaped too (if applicable). In my humble opinion, the graphical flowchart is best to depict the process of cooking an instant noodle.

I've done the same flowchart for my HRM and BDU before and I learnt quite a lot from the seniors. What you need to do is think logically and think of the possibilities of consequence(s) that will entail from one "box" to another.

p.s: Please use the rightly shaped box for the process. Let's just say I learnt all these from the hard way and with some scoldings as well. Well, at least I learnt to fish from those seniors.

What about business process management? Human capital application management? I've done these before and well, let's just say the instant noodle process flow is tad simple but I reckon you start something from there, drawing your terminal points, connectors, decision, so on and so forth. At least you familiarise yourself with the symbols used. (Learn to walk before you run, eh?)

What field are you in? Engineering? Business? What about doing a process flow for a hypothetical situation like a power supply failure? It can be challenging but it's something you can learn from. What about fire drill exercise? It can be used too. Let's just say it's better to stick to what field you are in so that you have a ground basic of the subject matter at the very least.

I'm not from an engineering background and I was a fresh graduate back then. I was told to do some human resource-management work flow and let's just say I worked in the same department with one of the most "difficult" person in the company. Anyway, I stomached all those (jibber-jabber) and most importantly, in the end of the day, I've learnt something...

Looks like a good template that can be a point reference. Another lookout is from those trouble shooting booklet/manual. Those can be used as a reference too. Good luck!
