The Deming Cycle (PDCA)

The Deming Cycle, also known as PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act), is a continuous improvement process used to enhance products, services, or processes. It begins with **Planning**, where you identify a problem and devise a strategy. Next is **Doing**, where you implement the plan on a small scale. After that comes **Checking**, where you assess the results to see if the change made a difference. Finally, **Acting** involves standardizing successful changes or adjusting your plan if needed. This cycle promotes ongoing improvement and helps organizations adapt and refine their practices effectively.
