Completed manufacturing example
The manufacturing example follows an accepted order through planning, material supply, production, quality release and dispatch. Each high-level step identifies the supplying party, the required input, the output and its next customer.
Use SIPOC to agree where the process starts and ends. It shows hand-offs and requirements; a detailed process map or SOP is needed for decisions, loops, task sequence and timings.
When to use this template
A process-scoping worksheet, not a detailed operating procedure.
