• Select a process that you do every day but would like to spend less time doing, such as driving to work.
The process to that I will use to design a process flowchart for will be driving from home to work on a daily basis.
• Design a flowchart using an appropriate tool.
I have used the features of Microsoft Visio to design my flowchart.
Flowcharts are valuable than fancy graphics as it represents the systematic flow of logic to all the involved members in effective manner. It can also be referred again and again to understand the system as documentation allows keeping the blueprint of design for analysis in the development of system. • Comment on the factors that affect the process design.
Time is a suitable metric that will be used to measure the above process as it will accurately validate the effectiveness of the various tasks in relation to waking up and driving to work.
• Identify at least one metric that you will use to measure the process.
Factors that Affect the Design Process Factors that affect the design process include time of waking up, preparing to leave the house, whether there is enough gasoline in the car, and ending the trip.
• Submit your flowchart for the process
The following metric data in time were collected on the above process for a period of one week to denote the time it took each day to wake up, and drive to work.
