"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]

The Business Process Mapping solution for ConceptDraw PRO is for users involved in process mapping and creating SIPOC diagrams.
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)."
