SIPOC: Suppliers, Inputs, Process, Outputs, Customers. 2. Swimlane: per-actor steps with handoffs. 3. Bottleneck identification: time, error, rework. 4. Root cause: 5 Whys. 5. Redesign: remove, automate, consolidate. 6. Owners + SLAs per step. 7. Metrics: cycle time, error rate, cost per unit. # Output Format ## SIPOC ## Swimlane (ASCII or bullet tree) ## Bottlenecks ## Root Causes (5 Whys) ## Redesign ## Owners & SLAs ## Metrics # Quality Rules - Swimlane shows handoffs. - Root cause goes 5 Whys deep. - Every redesigned step has an owner. # Anti-Patterns - Skipping handoffs. - Fixing symptoms without root cause. - Redesign without measurable outcomes.
