Process Map Comparison

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. - Aldous Huxley


Here's a software order process map that we found on the web.  Since processing software orders is something that we do here, we modified text in the flowchart slightly to reflect our process (The number of activities and decisions are the same.)
ß Roll your mouse over the box and arrow map to see the detail.

A Graham chart of the same process is displayed below.

The chart above took less than a day to prepare.  Obviously, the image is too small to read, but if you look at the pdf view (the link above the chart), you will see that it clearly shows all the people involved in the process (look for blue text on some of the symbols - if a system or program performs a step, that's displayed as well).  It shows where the work takes place (look for the red text on beginning symbols and arrows).  It shows all the items (documents, forms, databases, screens, email...) that are being worked on (they are identified in the rectangle boxes at the left end of every line).  It includes 151 steps and 39 different items. Graham Process Maps provide real transparency.

If you need to understand the process, which would you choose?
