Deming's PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act)

Deming's PDCA, or Plan-Do-Check-Act, is a continuous improvement process used to enhance operations and address problems. 1. **Plan**: Identify an issue and develop a strategy to address it. 2. **Do**: Implement the plan on a small scale to test its effectiveness. 3. **Check**: Evaluate the results of the implementation to see if it met the objectives. 4. **Act**: If successful, standardize the solution; if not, revise the plan and try again. This cycle promotes ongoing improvement and problem-solving in various contexts, from business to personal projects.
