How to Create a SIPOC Diagram

SIPOC (suppliers, inputs, process, outputs, customers) diagram is focused on the quality of a business process inputs and outputs. SIPOC diagram has a form of a segmented table that gives a comprehensive outline for each category. SIPOC diagram depicts the start and end of a process and the relationships between a company and its suppliers. SIPOC diagram is an important part of the Six Sigma methodology. With its Business Process Mapping solution, ConceptDraw DIAGRAM offers a powerful set of process mapping tools to empower quality management within an organization.

Use it for business process mapping with ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and business graphics software.
"In process improvement, a SIPOC (sometimes COPIS) is a tool that summarizes the inputs and outputs of one or more processes in table form. The acronym SIPOC stands for suppliers, inputs, process, outputs, and customers which form the columns of the table. It was in use at least as early as the Total Quality Management programs of the late 1980s and continues to be used today in Six Sigma, Lean manufacturing, and business process management." [SIPOC. Wikipedia]

SIPOC is a tool that summarizes the inputs and outputs of one or more processes in table form.
You need to draw professional looking SIPOC Diagram quick and easy? Pay please your attention on ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software. Extended with Business Process Mapping Solution from the Business Processes Area of ConceptDraw Solution Park, it suits ideal for this.
This SIPOC diagram example was designed on the base of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Process SIPOC Diagram on the Minnesota.gov portal.
"Instructions:
1) Identify beginning and ending process steps (boundaries);
2) Identify 4‐6 high‐level steps between process boundaries;
3) Identify key outputs and the customers of those outputs;
4) Identify inputs and suppliers;
5) Identify critical to quality requirements for the inputs, process steps, and outputs (you will have to verify this information later with data collection)."

Technical Flow Chart

Flow chart is a diagrammatic representation of an algorithm and essential part of planning the system. Flow charts are widely used in technical analysis and programming for easy writing programs and explaining them to others. So, one of the most popular type of flow charts is Technical Flow Chart.
Technical Flow Chart can be drawn by pencil on the paper, but it will be easier to use for designing a special software. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software extended with Flowcharts Solution from the "Diagrams" Area of ConceptDraw Solution Park will be useful for this goal.

IDEF0 standard with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM

The activity of any organization is more or less branchy network of processes. The description of these processes is a hard technical task which requires definite methodology and standards.
According to the IDEF0 standard any process can be described in the form of a block (Activity Box) which has inputs and outputs. The process consists in transformation of inputs into outputs under the influence of the management and in the presence of necessary resources. Outputs of the given process later on can be either inputs for the next process or resources, or management means.

Data Flow Diagram

Data flow diagram (DFD) is the part of the SSADM method (Structured Systems Analysis and Design Methodology), intended for analysis and information systems projection. Data flow diagrams are intended for graphical representation of data flows in the information system and for analysis of data processing during the structural projection. Data flow diagram often used in connection with human process and can be displayed as workflow diagram. The critical Process Flow Diagram is another flowchart technique for designing data flow in connection with organizational processes. The critical Process flow diagram may use different range of symbols than a classic workflow diagram.

Data Flow Diagram Symbols. DFD Library

Data Flow Diagrams show information transfers and process steps of a system. The general concept is an approach of a depicting how occurs input in a system, further processes and what runs out. The aim of DFD is in accomplishing of understanding between developers and users. Data flow diagrams are maintained with other methods of structured systems analysis.

Event-driven Process Chain (EPC) Diagram Software

An EPC diagram is a type of flowchart used in business process analysis. It shows different business processes through various workflows. The workflows are shown as processes and events that are related to different executes and tasks that allow the business workflow to be completed.
An EPC diagram shows different business processes through various workflows. The workflows are seen as functions and events that are connected by different teams or people, as well as tasks that allow business processes to be executed. The best thing about this type of enterprise modeling is that creating an EPC diagram is quick and simple as long as you have the proper tool. One of the main usages of the EPC diagrams is in the modeling, analyzing and re-engineering of business processes. With the use of the flowchart, businesses are able to see inefficiencies in the processes and modify to make them more productive. Event-driven process chain diagrams are also used to configure an enterprise resource plan.

Business Process Flowchart Symbols

The business process flowchart symbols used for business process mapping are predefined by Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) and actually have their roots in the data processing diagrams and programming flow charts. Business Process flowchart symbols provide drawing business process flowcharts, diagrams and maps of any complexity.

Data Flow Diagram Model

The DFD (Yourdon and Coad notation) example "Model of small traditional production enterprise" below was created using the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Data Flow Diagrams solution from the Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

Example Process Flow

A flowchart is a picture of the separate steps of a process in sequential order.
ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is a Process Flowcharts software. This software includes basic package of process flow examples. The software contains object libraries with vector stencils that allows you use RapidDraw technology. By clicking on direction arrows you can add a new object to the flowchart.
