Introduction
A SIPOC diagram helps us understand what is
upstream and downstream from our process. The
elements of the diagram are: the Suppliers (S) to
our process and their Inputs (I), our Process (P), and
the Outputs (O) we provide to our process’s
Customers (C). A SIPOC can be drawn quickly
and can help us better understand the context of our
process and explain it to others. What follows is how
to create a SIPOC that uses making a meal as an
example. Let’s get started. --Tom Curtis
