An outline process chart is a process chart which gives an overall view of a process by
recording only the main operations and sequences in proper sequence. So, it is obvious
that such a chart requires only symbols for Operations and inspection. A brief note of
the nature of each inspection and operations is written alongside the symbol. Allowed
time where ever, known, can also be added.
Example
Outline process chart for assembly of two plates with rivets is shown. As it is clear, only
operations and inspection are considered here.

A worker-machine chart is used for recording and analyzing the working relationship
between operator and machine on which he works. It is drawn to time scale. Analysis of
the chart can help in better utilization of both worker and machine time. The possibility
of one worker attending more than one machine is also sought from the use of this chart.
Example
One operator operating two machines.

A SIMO Chart is another Left-Hand Right-Hand chart with the difference that it is drawn
to time scale and in terms of basic motions. It is used when the work cycle is highly
repetitive and of very short duration.
Example
