The PDCA Cycle

The PDCA Cycle stands for Plan, Do, Check, Act. It's a method used to improve processes continuously. First, you plan a change or improvement, setting goals and strategies. Next, you implement the plan (Do). Then, you evaluate the results to see if the goals are met (Check). Based on this evaluation, you decide whether to adopt the change, modify it, or start over (Act). This cycle repeats, fostering ongoing improvement and ensuring that processes are efficient and effective over time.
