The data entry staff of National Manufacturing Inc. has responsibility for converting all

of the plant’s shipping information to computerized records. The information flow

begins when the shipping department sends a copy of a shipping order to the data entry

staff. A data entry operator scans the shipping order information onto a hand-held data

storage device. Verification clerks then check the computerized record with the original

shipping orders. When a given batch of files has been reviewed and corrected, as

necessary, the information is uploaded to the company’s mainframe system at the home

office.

The most effective way to visualize and understand this set of activities would be through

the use of a

a. program flowchart.

b. decision table.

c. document flowchart.

d. Gantt chart.
