How to create a
SIPOCdiagram
Created by Tom Curtis 2011Blog: www.onimproving.blogspot.comPresentations: on www.slideshare.net/onimproving Email: [email protected]: @onimproving
IntroductionA 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
