Process Interaction Waste (SIPOC)
The Process Interaction Waste feature focuses on identifying waste that occurs between different stages or teams within a process. Utilizing the SIPOC (Suppliers, Inputs, Process, Outputs, Customers) workbench, users can map out process touchpoints with an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. By visualizing how different parts of the process interact, users can identify inefficiencies and waste in these handoffs. Linking these touchpoints with the company’s IT portfolio further enhances visibility into potential bottlenecks or areas for improvement. Once mapped, the TIMWOODS methodology is applied to these interactions to identify and reduce waste, ensuring smoother transitions and more efficient workflows across the organization.
