Like other types of diagrams, they help visualize the process. Two of the many benefits are flaws and <a href="/wiki/Bottleneck_(production)" title="Bottleneck (production)">bottlenecks</a> may become apparent. Flowcharts typically use the following main symbols: </p> <ul><li>A process step, usually called an <i>activity</i>, is denoted by a rectangular box.</li> <li>A decision is usually denoted by a diamond.</li></ul> <p>A flowchart is described as "cross-functional" when the chart is divided into different vertical or horizontal parts, to describe the control of different organizational units. A symbol appearing in a particular part is within the control of that organizational unit. A cross-functional flowchart allows the author to correctly locate the responsibility for performing an action or making a decision, and to show the responsibility of each organizational unit for different parts of a single process. </p><p>Flowcharts represent certain aspects of processes and are usually complemented by other types of diagram. For instance, <a href="/wiki/Kaoru_Ishikawa" title="Kaoru Ishikawa">Kaoru Ishikawa</a> defined the flowchart as one of the <a href="/wiki/Seven_basic_tools_of_quality" title="Seven basic tools of quality">seven basic tools of quality control</a>, next to the <a href="/wiki/Histogram" title="Histogram">histogram</a>, <a href="/wiki/Pareto_chart" title="Pareto chart">Pareto chart</a>, <a href="/wiki/Check_sheet" title="Check sheet">check sheet</a>, <a href="/wiki/Control_chart" title="Control chart">control chart</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ishikawa_diagram" title="Ishikawa diagram">cause-and-effect diagram</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/Scatter_diagram" class="mw-redirect" title="Scatter diagram">scatter diagram</a>.
