SIPOC

A SIPOC diagram is a high-level process map that outlines the following:

  • Suppliers: The individuals, departments, or entities that provide the necessary inputs for the process.
  • Inputs: The resources, materials, or information required for the process to function properly.
  • Process: The series of steps or activities that transform the inputs into outputs.
  • Outputs: The end products, services, or deliverables generated by the process.
  • Customers: The recipients or beneficiaries of the outputs, whether internal or external to the organization
