SIPOC

SIPOC is a six sigma tool. The acronym SIPOC stands for Suppliers, inputs, process, outputs, customers. A SIPOC is completed most easily by starting from the right ("Customers") and working towards the left.

For example:

  1. Suppliers - grocers and vendors
  2. Inputs - ingredients for recipes
  3. Process - cooking at a restaurant kitchen
  4. Outputs - meals served
  5. Customers - diners at a restaurant

A number of six sigma SIPOC references are available, including isixsigma.com [1] and opensourcesixsigma.com.[2]
