• 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
