Fix and Improve cropped diagram

Question

I tried to draw this diagram and did it differently; however, when added to my book template, it went outside, so I tried to show a standalone, and it looked cropped. How can I:

fix the cropping of the diagram
improve it to make it look closer to the original, or is it currently acceptable?

If standalone is changed to article, the whole graph appears. — OOzy Pal, May 12 '23 at 09:56
Don't use figure inside standalone. I don't see no use for the preview option. Use tikz instead. — Qrrbrbirlbel, May 12 '23 at 10:18
Yes, you're using overlay this will make TikZ not evaluate the bounding box correctly and then standalone (or preview) can't figure out where it actually ends. — Qrrbrbirlbel, May 12 '23 at 13:45

Here's an idea to almost draw the original diagram with TikZ.

Unfortunately, the Triangle Cap arrow tip isn't implemented for double lines though we can just tinker around with two separate paths where the inner one is also used for the text along path decoration.

This uses one loop where we specify two variables in each item: the angle it should use and the text. The angles should sum up to 360. The PGFMath functions (but they are constants) R, startInd and totalInd are used to change the radius or the indentations for the inner arrow. I'm not interested in doing trigonometry so feel free to adjust those so that the arrows look good.

For the connections between the circular arrows, I'm using Arc coordinates i styles to insert coordinates for each arc. This is very tedious input though we could just spread five or ten for each arc even if we don't use each.

As an example I made one connection from Disposal to Design & Manfacturing. Doing the connection exactly as in the preview isn't straight forward since it covers the target and uses a very specific arrow tip which isn't available by stock TikZ (but might be possible with a harpooned Triangle tip).

\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Output

The sloped, allow upside down, nodes={yshift=+-5mm} makes it so that all coordinates are placed on the inside of the circular arrows (5mm is half the line width). The coordinates on the other side need yshift=+10mm to counteract this or all this should be done with left with offset and right with offset. — Qrrbrbirlbel, May 12 '23 at 14:11
I liked the drawing of the circle, but it was tough for me to draw the arrows. So I reverted to normal arrows. I will post my code. — OOzy Pal, May 14 '23 at 04:47

The answer below uses the wheelchart package, which I wrote.

The text in the arcs is given to the key arc data. The direction of this text depends on the angle of the middle of the arc given by \WCmidangle which is used in the key arc data dir. This text is centered in the arc with arc data pos=0.5.

The gaps between the arcs are obtained with the key gap.

The arrow is obtained with the key slices arrow.

The length of the arrows depends on the width of the text using the key value=width("\WCvarA").

\documentclass[border=6pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{wheelchart}
\usetikzlibrary{decorations.text}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\sffamily
\wheelchart[
  arc data=\WCvarA,
  arc data angle shift=6,
  arc data dir={\WCmidangle<180?1:-1},
  arc data pos=0.5,
  arc data style={text color=white},
  data=,
  gap,
  radius={3}{4},
  slices arrow={1}{0},
  slices style={
    fill=white!\fpeval{(\WCcount/\WCtotalcount)*70}!black,
    draw=black
  },
  start angle=-75,
  value=width("\WCvarA")
