SIMO Chart Flow Diagram

The  flow  diagram  is a drawing  indicating  the paths  of men  materials  or components on a scale  plan of  the work  area, department or  factory. The  first step is to prepare a flow  of the  work  area to  scale and position  the machines and other plants  correctly. The activities  alt the  various work area  are then indicated by their numbered symbol. The paths  followed in transport are shown  by joining  the symbol  in sequence by a line which represents as nearly as possible the paths  of movement of the subject concerned. The  direction of  movement  is shown  by the numbered transport symbols which form part of the flow lines. An example  of a flow diagram is shown  in figure
