| Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, please help!!
My supervisor gave me an assignment for a 'Flow Chart':
Dealer provides informations (first, customer information including name and address; second, the merchandise specifications) to Coporate Head Office. The Corporate Head Office then transfer both informations to the local certified Installer. The Installer has to call Customer to have an appointment for installation. Corporate Head Office ship the merchandise to the Installer. At the time of the appointment, the Install bring the merchandise to Customer and install for the customer. After completion of the installation, Installer provides the signed 'Certificate of Completion' (signed by the Customer) together with the Bill (of labor for installation), one copy to dealer and another copy to Corporate Head Officce. Then, Corporate Head Office pays Installer.
I never take any lesson of the project and have hard time to draw this logic flow chart from Office Word 2000.
Highly appreciate any idea you have. | |

Flowchart
Click on symbol, draw symbol and then add text (right mouse click). Save as you go so you don't lose any hard work. Preview from time to time to get an overview. Place the mouse over the symbol and you will see what the symbol signifies. Once you get started you will get hooked on it and it will become easier. Good luck.

P.S. use the straight line or arrows in Drawing to connect the symbols. Hold down your shift key as you place the lines for exactness. | |

| Thanks, dear foxmedia.
But I still have confusion.
There are four parties involved. Which type of block I can use to represent these four parties?
Second, each party needs to do one or more works. For each type of work, what type of block I can use to represent it?
Wonder where I can get some more information.
Thanks. | |

| Halelujah,
That is up to you and your imagination. Since no one (I chose to believe) is going to be judging what symbol you use to signify each entity just chose one and stay consistent on it's use for each. Example: if you want to "id" the Corporate Office as one symbol, use another symbol to id the customer. Decide if/what is the constant that is particular to eachone and use the same symbol all the time to id it.
List your variables:
Corporate Office, Customer, Installer, merchandise, etc...Then chose a symbol for each. When you need to reference a variable more than once make sure you use the same symbol throughout the flowchart. No hard and fast rules when you are using/constructing a flowchart for internal use that will not go out of the office.
Again, be imaginative, but be consistent so the chart is easy to follow. Be sure and add text inside the symbols so the person(s) looking at the chart can follow.
Good luck.
