“type” refers to material, person, or machine; and
“method” tells whether the present, proposed, or
revised system is being shown. An example of an
operation process chart for the transplanting phase
of a bedding plant operation is shown in Figure 3–1
on page 39. When using an operation process chart,
consider the following questions: 1) Can events be
combined? 2) Can inspections be eliminated? and 3)
Can delays be eliminated or converted to storages?
