    What type of flow chart shows the controls at a physical or resource level? - ProProfs

    What type of flow chart shows the controls at a physical or resource level?

    • Document flowcharts

    • System flowcharts

    • Program flowcharts 

    • Data flowcharts

    Correct Answer
    A. System flowcharts
    Explanation
    System flowcharts show the controls at a physical or resource level. These flowcharts provide a visual representation of the system's processes, inputs, outputs, and controls. They help in understanding the flow of information, materials, and resources within a system. System flowcharts are useful in analyzing and improving the efficiency of a system, identifying bottlenecks, and designing or modifying controls at a higher level.

    Which of these is not a type of flowchart? - ProProfs

    Which of these is not a type of flowchart?

    • Document flowcharts

    • System flowcharts

    • Program flowchart

    • Power flowcharts

    Correct Answer
    A. Power flowcharts
    Explanation
    Power flowcharts are not a type of flowchart. The other options listed (document flowcharts, system flowcharts, and program flowcharts) are all recognized types of flowcharts used to visually represent different processes or systems. However, power flowcharts do not have a recognized definition or purpose in the field of flowcharting.

    What is the underlying graph structure of a flowchart called? - ProProfs

    What is the underlying graph structure of a flowchart called?

    • Work flow 

    • Flow diagram

    • Flow graph

    • Pareto chart

    Correct Answer
    A. Flow graph
    Explanation
    The underlying graph structure of a flowchart is called a flow graph. A flow graph represents the flow of control within a program or process, showing the sequence of steps and decisions. It consists of nodes that represent the individual steps or actions, and edges that represent the connections or transitions between these steps. The flow graph helps to visualize the logical flow and relationships between different parts of the flowchart.

    Which of these intellectuals introduced the flow process chart?  - ProProfs

    Which of these intellectuals introduced the flow process chart? 

    • Lilian Gilbert

    • Mark Reich

    • Greg Williams 

    • Lilian Gillbreth

    Correct Answer
    A. Lilian Gillbreth
    Explanation
    Lilian Gillbreth is the correct answer because she was an American psychologist and industrial engineer who made significant contributions to the field of management and industrial engineering. She introduced the flow process chart, which is a graphical tool used to analyze and improve work processes. Gillbreth's work in time and motion studies, efficiency, and workplace organization revolutionized industrial engineering and influenced the development of modern management practices.

    What type of flowchart shows the controls over a data-flow in a system? - ProProfs

    What type of flowchart shows the controls over a data-flow in a system?

    • Program flowchart

    • System flowcharts

    • Data flowcharts 

    • Program flowcharts

    Correct Answer
    A. Data flowcharts 
    Explanation
    Data flowcharts show the controls over a data-flow in a system. They represent the movement of data between different processes, inputs, and outputs in a system. These flowcharts visually depict how data is processed, transformed, and stored within a system, allowing for a clear understanding of data flow and control mechanisms. Program flowcharts, on the other hand, focus on the flow of control within a program, while system flowcharts provide an overview of the entire system and its components.

    What type of flowchart shows the controls in a program within a system? - ProProfs

    What type of flowchart shows the controls in a program within a system?

    • Program flowchart

    • Document flowcharts 

    • System flowchart 

    • Data flowcharts

    Correct Answer
    A. Program flowchart
    Explanation
    A program flowchart is a type of flowchart that shows the controls within a program in a system. It represents the sequence of steps or operations in a program, including decision points, loops, and subroutines. It helps to visualize the logical flow of the program and understand how the controls interact with each other. By using symbols and arrows, a program flowchart provides a clear and concise representation of the program's structure and helps in analyzing and debugging the program.
