Sipoc is a lean six sigma tool that helps map the process at a high level while stating who the suppliers are, what are the inputs, what is the process, what are outputs and customers. SIPOC is a great tool to get all process components on a single page. The below diagram is an example of a sipoc.
DMAIC Phase Tools Used: Define – Define project goals and customer deliverables, develop Problem Statement, Goals and Benefits; Identify Process Owner and Team Members; Define Resources; Develop Project Plan and Key Milestones
By using Lean Six Sigma DMAIC approach, companies bring proven tools and techniques to decrease variation, reduce defects and make operations more efficient. The Lean Six Sigma methodology uses the acronym DMAIC, which stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control.
The DMAIC process follows 5 phases, which are foundational for the process improvement efforts, setting goals, and analyzing results. The five phases are: 1. Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control.
What Does DMAIC Stand For? It represents the 5 phases that make up the lean six sigma process improvement methodology.
SIPOC is a high level representation of a process and its participants. Below diagram is an example of a SIPOC
SIPOC stands for Suppliers – Inputs – Process – Outputs – Customer. It shows the key relationship of one phase to another and how all phases affect each other’s performance.
