Book excerpt: Excerpt from American National Standard Flowchart Symbols and Their Usage in Information Processing The purpose of a flowchart is to improve man-to-man communication relative to the description and analysis of an information processing problem. Flowcharting is a technique in which symbols represent both the sequence of operations and the flow of data and paperwork. The use of flowcharts became widespread in the field of information processing concurrent with the application of electronic computers to problems of business and industry. Occasionally, how ever, the interpretation of a flowchart resulted in misunderstanding. One source of misunderstand ing stemmed from a lack of uniformity of meaning for specific symbols in the flowcharts. The historical development of flowchart symbols has many facets. Initially, groups of individuals in a company coordinated their work on flowcharting. Later, this same need for a uniform set of symbols became apparent to larger groups of persons who exchanged flowcharts, for example, government, commercial and industrial user groups, equipment manufacturers, form suppliers, professional societies, and consultants. Eventually, as each group attempted to establish a uniform set of symbols for its own members, the need for an American National Standard for flowchart symbols was recognized.
