Diagrams that define or lay out the foundations of a process are essential for maintaining a strict organizational standard. One such diagram is SIPOC, which represents one or more processes, right from the suppliers to the customer.
What is a SIPOC Diagram?
The SIPOC concept stems from the Six Sigma methodology, which is a set of methods for improving a process. A SIPOC diagram includes 5 components, namely:
- Suppliers
- Inputs
- Process
- Outputs
- Customers
These five components are laid out in the form of a diagram as different columns of a table. As SIPOC is primarily meant to address customer satisfaction, it is also known as COPIS, where the information in the table is populated starting from the customer to the supplier. SIPOC was also used in the Total Quality Management programs and can be a product of other process improvement initiatives like Kaizen, a Japanese philosophy for improvement.
