A SIPOC diagram is a form of process mapping. Process mapping is a term used to describe the task of putting a project’s goals and, in some cases, detailed steps on how those goals will be accomplished.
The SIPOC (R) will also help the team to understand who their Customers are and what are their Requirements The SIPOC (R) helps us break down our process into External Inputs and their Suppliers; Process Steps; and Outputs, Customers and their Requirements. This diagram allows us to see the process from the 30,000 foot view.
