Calculator Library / Lean Six Sigma Scoping
Create a SIPOC diagram for process scoping, DMAIC charters, training, audits, and team alignment. Edit each column, preview the diagram, then print or export it for Word, Excel, Google Docs, or Google Sheets.

Structure: Suppliers -> Inputs -> Process -> Outputs -> Customers
Word and Google Docs exports download an HTML document. Excel exports an `.xls` worksheet, and Google Sheets exports a CSV file that can be imported into Sheets.

Start by naming the process and defining its boundary. The best SIPOC diagrams are built at a high level before the team gets pulled into detailed process mapping. Use one row for each major supplier-input-process-output-customer relationship, then refine the wording until the team agrees on the scope.
| Column | Meaning | Good Entry Example |
|---|---|---|
| Suppliers | Who provides the input? | Approved component supplier, scheduler, customer service |
| Inputs | What does the process need to start? | Released work order, drawing revision, material lot, inspection plan |
| Process | What high-level activity transforms the input? | Receive order, kit material, assemble, inspect, ship |
| Outputs | What does the process produce? | Accepted assembly, shipping record, inspection result, invoice |
| Customers | Who receives or uses the output? | Final test, warehouse, external customer, finance |
Use Print / Save PDF to open the browser print dialog and save the finished diagram as a PDF. Use the Word and Excel buttons when you need an editable file for Microsoft Office. Use the Google Doc and Google Sheet buttons when you need a file that can be uploaded or imported into Google Drive.
Keep the process column high level. Five to seven major steps is usually enough for scoping before a detailed map is built.
No. SIPOC defines scope and relationships. A detailed process map, swimlane map, or value stream map comes after the team agrees on the SIPOC boundary.
The tool uses the browser print workflow so the user can print or save the finished diagram as a PDF using the system print dialog.
No. This static browser tool downloads Google Docs-compatible HTML and Google Sheets-compatible CSV files. Upload or import those files into Google Drive when you need native Google files.
