Is there a standard way of describing a process?
No, there is no standard way to describe a process. It depends on the culture, management style, staff literacy, personal attributes and their interactions. A process may be described using a flow chart, block diagram, responsibility matrix, written procedures or pictures. Process flowcharts or block diagrams can show how policies, objectives, influential factors, job functions, activities, material, equipment, resources, information, people and decision making interact and/or interrelate in a logical order.
