What is a gearwheels chart?

The Gearwheels Chart uses interconnected mechanical gears to represent business processes, workflows, or system relationships. This metaphorical visualization is perfect for showing how different components work together in a coordinated system, emphasizing the interconnected nature of business operations.

Key Features

Mechanical metaphor: Interlocking gears represent interconnected processes or systems
Process visualization: Perfect for showing workflow dependencies and relationships
Dual content areas: Each gear supports both a title and detailed content description
Optional numbering: Toggle numerical labels for sequential processes
Scalable design: Accommodates 2-6 gears for optimal visual balance

Best Use Cases

Business process mapping: Show how different departments or functions work together
Supply chain visualization: Represent interconnected stages from supplier to customer
System architecture: Display how different components interact in technical systems
Workflow documentation: Illustrate sequential or parallel process dependencies
Team collaboration: Show how different teams contribute to overall operations
Manufacturing processes: Represent production stages and their relationships

Configuration Options

Customize your gearwheels chart with simple but effective settings:

Gear numbering: Choose whether to display numerical sequence labels on each gear
Content capacity: Each gear accommodates both a concise title and detailed content description

Design Philosophy

The gearwheels metaphor effectively communicates several key concepts:

Interdependence: Changes in one gear affect the entire system
Coordination: All components must work in harmony for optimal function
Sequential flow: Processes follow a logical order and timing
Mechanical precision: Operations require careful coordination and timing

This visualization is particularly powerful for presentations where you need to emphasize that business success depends on all components working together smoothly, or when explaining complex processes that have multiple interconnected stages.
