SIPOC by Dagmar Vlahos
The SIPOC Template can be used as the first step in understanding the process being evaluated.
This template is designed to be utilized as a brainstorming tool during the project documentation stage with a team to identify customers and suppliers (stakeholders).
How to use the SIPOC Template:

Step 2: Outputs
Articulate the outputs of the process that gets delivered to the customer.
Step 3: Inputs
Document the inputs that are needed to create the output.
Step 4: Suppliers
Identify who or what supplies the input required to create the output.
Step 5: Process
Describe the high-level steps that make up the process in 5 steps or less.
