Answer 1

Explanation:

Charts are generally represented by symbols because symbols produce a better picture and quick understanding of the facts.
Process charts use the following five basic symbols to record different types of events.

Event	Symbol	Description
Operation		The operation represents an action. It involves a change in the location or condition of a product. Example: Cutting a bar on a power hacksaw.
Storage		Storage represents a stage when a finished good or raw material awaits an action or when an item has been retained for quite some time for reference purposes. Example: Milling cutters lying in the tool store.
Delay		Delay occurs when something stops the process and a product waits for the next event. Example: Power failure.
Transport		Transport indicates the movement of an item from one location to another. Example: Oil flowing through a penstock.
Inspection		An inspection is an act of checking for correctness of the quantity or the quality of the items. Example: Gauging a piston pin.
