2. Flowchart for process mapping where we study simple flowcharts or top-down flowchart for logical process flow, swim-lane maps or deployment maps where we will study the process flow along with interrelation among the different departments and value stream maps which will give us an eagle-eye view of the process.

3. Pareto Analysis or Pareto chart based on 80:20 principle meaning 80 percent of results are due to 20% of the causes.

4. Histogram for the visual representation of data, trends, and variations.
