In a process chart the inverted triangle symbol indicates
-
an operation
-
inspection
-
storage
-
transport
In industrial engineering and process mapping (ASME standards), a circle represents an operation, a square represents inspection, an arrow represents transport, and an inverted triangle represents permanent storage.
To answer this question, we need to understand the symbols commonly used in a process chart or flowchart.
The inverted triangle symbol in a process chart typically represents storage. It indicates a location where items or materials are stored during the process. This symbol is used to represent a temporary or permanent storage area.
Let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:
Option A) an operation - This option is incorrect because an operation is usually represented by a rectangle or a square symbol in a process chart.
Option B) inspection - This option is incorrect because inspection is usually represented by a circle or oval symbol in a process chart.
Option C) storage - This option is correct because the inverted triangle symbol in a process chart indicates storage.
Option D) transport - This option is incorrect because transport is usually represented by an arrow or a line connecting different process steps in a process chart.
Therefore, the correct answer is C) storage. This option is correct because the inverted triangle symbol indicates a storage location in a process chart.
