Suppliers	Inputs	Process	Outputs	Customers
Voice of the Customer (VOC) / End users	Customer requirements / specifications	Process Owner: [Enter name and role]	Finished product or completed service meeting customer specifications	External end customer / client
Internal stakeholders (Operations, Quality, Sales)	Raw materials / components	Key Metrics (placeholders): [CT = Cycle Time, DPU = Defects per Unit, FTY = First Time Yield, Sigma, Lead Time, On-Time Delivery %]	Quality inspection records, test reports	Internal customers (Sales, Customer Support, Distribution)
Material suppliers / Vendors	Process data (cycle times, defect counts, throughput)	High-level step 1: Receive & validate customer order/requirement	Delivery documentation (packing list, shipping notice, invoice)	Distribution partners / retailers
IT / Data providers (ERP, MES, BI)	Work instructions, SOPs, drawings	High-level step 2: Plan & allocate resources (materials, equipment, personnel)	Updated process maps, SOPs, and control plans	Regulatory & certification authorities
Regulatory / Compliance bodies	Equipment, tooling & software	High-level step 3: Execute core process (manufacture/assemble/provide service)	Improvement actions, root cause analysis reports, and lessons learned	Service & maintenance teams
Maintenance & Facilities	Customer complaints, returns, and feedback	High-level step 4: Inspect, test & perform quality verification	Performance metrics & dashboards for ongoing monitoring

What This Template Offers

A ready-to-use SIPOC built for DMAIC projects—so you can define scope, agree on handoffs, and focus on measurable improvement.

DMAIC-ready columns with CT, DPU, FTY, and Lead Time placeholders
Pre-labeled, color-coded layout for instant clarity
Easy editing of steps, stakeholders, and deliverables
Presentation-ready export and sharable link
AI-assisted setup and data cleaning (Pro)

Perfect Use Cases

Manufacturing yield improvement

Map assembly steps, suppliers, and critical inputs to reduce DPU and boost FTY. Align quality, production, and suppliers around the same outputs.

Service process redesign

Clarify request intake, handoffs, and deliverables to cut lead time in customer support or claims processing and raise first-contact resolution.

Software release management

Define stakeholders, environments, and control gates to improve deployment success, reduce change failure rate, and stabilize lead time for changes.

Healthcare patient intake optimization

Capture cross-functional roles, data inputs, and high-level steps to shorten wait times, reduce rework, and improve patient experience.

How to Customize

Paste your SIPOC data

Add suppliers, inputs, outputs, and customers. Use real names and systems (ERP, MES, LIMS) for credibility.

Map 5–7 high-level steps

Keep steps broad (receive order, plan, execute, inspect, release, deliver, review) to define scope without over-detailing.

Add metrics and finalize

Insert CT, DPU, FTY, Sigma, Lead Time, and OTD%. Tweak colors, then download or share the link.
