ITPEC IP October 2025 — Question 52 of 100

A process flowchart helps locate where problems may arise and what form they may take — it visualizes the sequence, decisions, handoffs, and interactions in the work.

By tracing each processing step, a quality team can identify likely failure points, unnecessary repetition, missing controls, and interfaces where defects can be introduced. This supports analysis and process improvement.

Answer (a)

Why not others:
- (b) expected-range monitoring is commonly supported by a control chart

- (c) relationships between a problem and possible causes are shown with a cause-and-effect diagram

- (d) ranking causes by occurrence frequency is the purpose of Pareto analysis

Key rule: Use a flowchart for process sequence, a control chart for stability, a cause-and-effect diagram for possible causes, and a Pareto chart for frequency priorities.
