SIPOC:

SIPOC is a six sigma tool. SIPOC stands for suppliers, inputs, process, output, and customers. You obtain inputs from suppliers, add value through your process, and provide an output that meets or exceeds your customer's requirements. A SIPOC is completed most easily by starting from the right ("Customers") and working towards the left.
For example:
1. Suppliers - grocers and vendors
2. Inputs - ingredients for recipes
3. Process - cooking at a restaurant kitchen
4. Outputs - meals served
5. Customers - diners at a restaurant
