    This document discusses the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle and tools that can be used at each stage of the cycle. The PDCA cycle involves: [1] planning improvements by identifying problems; [2] implementing plans through testing; [3] studying results to check if plans are working; and [4] acting to institutionalize improvements or continue the cycle. A variety of tools like brainstorming, surveys, check sheets, and charts can aid problem identification, analysis, solution generation, implementation, and evaluation at each step.
