“Make a SIPOC for an order‑to‑ship workflow.”

Organize the process

Number process steps and refine wording so each step is clear and action‑oriented.

1. Receive order → 2. Process materials → 3. Quality check → 4. Package → 5. Ship

Style for clarity

Toggle column labels, enable alternate row colors, adjust borders, header colors, padding, and alignment.

Header background dark, text white; left alignment; vertical middle.
