What is PDCA Cycle?
PDCA Cycle is an iterative four-step management method used in business to focus on continuous improvement of processes. The PDCA cycle consists of four steps namely Plan, Do, Check, and Act. It is one of the key concepts of quality and it is also called the Deming Circle/Cycle/Wheel.
PLAN:
Plan a change (either to solve a problem or to improve some areas) and decide what goal to achieve.
Here we define the objective, strategy and supporting methods to achieve the goal of our plan.
DO:
To design or revise the business requirement as planned
Here we implement the plan (in terms of putting the plan into an action) and test its performance.
CHECK:
Evaluate the results to make sure whether we reach the goals as planned
Here we make a checklist to record what went well and what did not work.
ACT:
If the changes are not as planned then continue the cycle to achieve the goal with a different plan.
Here we take action on what is not working as planned. Task is to keep trying to improve the process with different plan.
