  2. Class Agenda Welcome and Introductions SIPOC Defined How can SIPOC be used? How It Works An Example In-class Exercise Summary

  3. SIPOC Defined SIPOC is an acronym standing for S = Supplier(s) I = Input(s) & key requirements P = Process O = Output(s) & key requirements C = Customer(s)

  4. SIPOC Diagram Defined A SIPOC Diagram is a visual representation of a high-level process map; including suppliers & inputs into the process and outputs & customers of the process Visually communicates the scope of a project

  5. How can SIPOC be used? SIPOC Diagrams help a team and its sponsor(s) agree on project boundaries and scope A SIPOC helps teams verify that inputs match outputs of upstream processes outputs match inputs of downstream processes

  6. Brainstorming Exercise How can SIPOC be used in your organization?

  7. How a SIPOC works Suppliers Inputs Process Outputs Customers

  8. Step 1: Begin with the high-level process map Suppliers Inputs Process Outputs Customers Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4
