   If you desire a feeling for where this program fits into
the general scheme of things please read ALP_INTR.TXT.   It
was included on the ALPS Software Disks.
   This program can be used to develop Flow Process Charts.
The definition of a Flow Process Chart is:*" a graphic,
symbolic representation of the work performed on a product as
it passes through some or all of the stages of a process.
Typically, the information included in the chart is quantity,
distance moved, type of work done (by symbol with
explanation) and equipment used.   Work times may also be
included... Synonym: Flow Chart; Product process Chart;
Process Chart."
   This chart contains much more detail, and for this reason
is not adapted to describing the complete manufacturing
details of a complicated assembly, but rather the manufacture
of one component.   It helps to identify hidden costs, ie:
unnecessary travel distance, delays, etc..
