This is because in the second flow process chart, work simplification process has been performed to ensure that only the absolute task are included in the flow chart thus reducing the distance, and time needed to perform these duties. This is in the sense that the distance is reduced by about 35 feet from the first flow process chart to the second one. This has been achieved because some of the tasks such as taking loose sheet to permanent files and taking records to the supervisor’s desk to confirm authenticity could be eliminated with the site of the files being transferred closer to the record keeper where they need not move much.
