History The first structured method for documenting process flow‚ the "flow process chart"‚ was introduced by Frank Gilbreth to members of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) in 1921 in the presentation “Process Charts—First Steps in Finding the One Best Way”. Gilbreth’s tools quickly found their way into industrial engineering curricula. In the early 1930s‚ an industrial engineer‚ Allan H. Mogensen began training business people in the use of some of the tools of industrial engineering
