SIPOC Diagram Online Training Course
Master Process Mapping in 30 Minutes
Struggling to define process boundaries or identify key stakeholders? The SIPOC Diagram (Supplier, Input, Process, Output, Customer) is one of the most powerful tools in Lean Six Sigma methodology. This focused 30-minute video training teaches you to create comprehensive process maps that clarify scope, identify customers, and establish requirements. Whether you’re launching your first improvement project or refining advanced skills, mastering SIPOC ensures your team focuses on the right process from day one.
What You’ll Learn
Understanding SIPOC Components
Discover how to break down any process into five critical elements: Suppliers who provide resources, Inputs that feed the process, Process Steps that transform inputs, Outputs that result from the process, and Customers who receive value. This systematic approach provides the “30,000-foot view” essential for project scoping.
Identifying Suppliers and Inputs
Learn to map external inputs—everything required for your process to function. Identify suppliers (internal or external) providing materials, information, resources, or services. Understanding what feeds your process prevents overlooking critical dependencies.
Defining Process Boundaries
Master the art of scoping process steps clearly and concisely. Typically limited to 5-7 high-level steps, proper process definition keeps teams aligned and prevents scope creep. You’ll learn to distinguish between in-scope and out-of-scope activities.
Mapping Outputs and Customers
Identify all process outputs and the customers (internal or external) who receive them. Most importantly, document customer requirements—the measurable criteria determining whether your process delivers value. This customer focus drives meaningful improvement.
Real-World Application
The course uses practical examples like “Mowing a Lawn” to illustrate SIPOC principles in everyday contexts. You’ll apply these concepts to your own processes through interactive assignments, building confidence in real-world application.

Why SIPOC Matters
The SIPOC Diagram is essential in Lean and Six Sigma projects because it:
✅ Validates process focus – Confirms your team targets the right process before investing time
✅ Identifies customers – Clarifies who receives value and what they require
✅ Establishes boundaries – Defines clear start and end points preventing scope drift
✅ Aligns stakeholders – Creates shared understanding among cross-functional teams
✅ Documents requirements – Captures measurable criteria for process success
✅ Provides visual clarity – Offers high-level process overview accessible to all audiences
Used extensively in the Define phase of DMAIC methodology, SIPOC diagrams serve as the foundation for process analysis, measurement planning, and improvement prioritization.
