First, add to your preamble:
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes,arrows}
% styles for flowcharts
\tikzstyle{decision} = [diamond, draw, text width=4.5em, text badly centered, node distance=3cm, inner sep=0pt]
\tikzstyle{block} = [rectangle, draw, text width=5em, text centered, rounded corners, minimum height=4em]
Then, create flowcharts with something like the following:
\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\begin{tikzpicture}[node distance=2.5cm, auto, >=stealth]
% nodes
\node[block] (a) {A};
\node[block] (b) [right of=a] {B};
\node[decision,text width=2.8cm]
(c) [right of=b, node distance=3.3cm] {C?};
\node[block] (d) [right of=c, node distance=3.6cm] {D};
\node[block] (e) [below of=a, node distance=4cm] {E};
\node[block] (f) [right of=e] {F};
\node[block] (g) [right of=f] {G};
\node[block] (h) [right of=g] {H};
% edges
\draw[->] (a) -- (b);
\draw[->] (b) -- (c);
\draw[->] (c) -- node[above] {yes} (d);
\draw[->] (c.north) to [out=170,in=45] node[above] {no} (b.north);
\draw[->] (d.south) to [out=210,in=20] (e.north);
\draw[->] (e) -- (f);
\draw[->] (f) -- (g);
\draw[->] (g) -- (h);
\end{tikzpicture}
\caption{Flowchart}
\label{flowchart}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
This will produce something like the following:
