As part of designing a new inventory management system, a team member is constructing a flow chart to represent the logic. After an inventory count process, which symbol should be used to illustrate the subsequent action of checking whether the count is less than the reorder threshold?
The decision, whether the inventory count is less than the reorder threshold, is represented by a diamond shape in the flow chart, indicating a branching point where different paths can be taken based on a 'Yes' or 'No' answer. The other shapes -- rectangle, parallelogram, and oval -- do not represent decision points.
