Things called a process include:
Business process, activities that produce a specific service or product for customers
Business process modeling, activity of representing processes of an enterprise in order to deliver improvements
Manufacturing process management, a collection of technologies and methods used to define how products are to be manufactured.
Process architecture, structural design of processes, applies to fields such as computers, business processes, logistics, project management
Process area, related processes within an area which together satisfies an important goal for improvements within that area
Process costing, a cost allocation procedure of managerial accounting
Process management (project management), a systematic series of activities directed towards planning, monitoring the performance and causing an end result in engineering activities, business process, manufacturing processes or project management

Flowchart
A flowchart is a type of diagram that represents a workflow or process. A flowchart can also be defined as a diagrammatic representation of an algorithm, a step-by-step approach to solving a task. The flowchart shows the steps as boxes of various kinds, and their order by connecting the boxes with arrows. This diagrammatic representation illustrates a solution model to a given problem. Flowcharts are used in analyzing, designing, documenting or managing a process or program in various fields.
Business process modeling
Business process modeling (BPM) in business process management and systems engineering is the activity of representing processes of an enterprise, so that the current business processes may be analyzed, improved, and automated. BPM is typically performed by business analysts, who provide expertise in the modeling discipline; by subject matter experts, who have specialized knowledge of the processes being modeled; or more commonly by a team comprising both. Alternatively, the process model can be derived directly from events' logs using process mining tools.
