When You Need to Stay Ahead
Business is increasingly complex. Customer demands and competitive pressures have all contributed to an increase in the adoption of quality improvement initiatives. Today it is common for organizations to be involved in a number of process-based initiatives such as Six Sigma, Lean, and ISO. All improvement efforts should leverage best practices, tools and corporate knowledge throughout the organization to avoid departmental silos.
iGrafx FlowCharter is a powerful, easy-to-use process mapping tool that provides a foundation for organization-wide process excellence. iGrafx FlowCharter reduces the time it takes to document processes and business systems, and helps you achieve a clearer understanding of how tasks, activities and processes must be carried out to reduce waste and costs while increasing customer satisfaction.
With numerous diagram templates, context-sensitive interface and a wide range of output options, iGrafx FlowCharter is the most productive process mapping and diagramming tool available today. And unlike the process maps created with general drawing tools, iGrafx diagrams are information-rich and easily updated.
A Pillar of Process Excellence
iGrafx FlowCharter serves as the foundation for any organization's process improvement initiatives, but excels when integrated with other iGrafx components to form an enterprise wide approach to process excellence. When coupled with a client/server based central repository like iGrafx Process Central or iGrafx Enterprise Central, the iGrafx solution will help you bridge the gap between the major organization constituencies--IT, process initiatives and business analysts--to ensure a level of process consistency, management, history and control across the enterprise.
