The PDCA (plan-do-check-act) cycle is a four-step approach to continuous improvement. The four steps are: 1) plan changes or improvements, 2) implement them, 3) check the results, and 4) act on what is learned. Originally developed for manufacturing, the PDCA cycle can be applied broadly to drive improvement in business processes. Its advantages include facilitating daily management, problem solving, project management, and continuous development. Potential disadvantages include initial costs and worker resistance to change.

control in united states in the 1930 • Japan in 1950 • Reactive improvement was added in 1960 and 1970 • Proactive improvement in 1980 Definition • According to Wikipedia • PDCA (plan-do-check-act) is an iterative four- step problem-solving process typically used in business process improvement. It is also known as the Deming cycle, Shewhart cycle, Deming wheel, or plan-do-study-act. Meaning
• PDCA is a cycle of activities (Plan, Do, Check,
Act) designed to drive continuous improvement. Initially implemented in manufacturing, it has broad applicability in business. PDCA CYCLE PDCL CYCLE PLAN • Setting up organization chart • Preparing job statement • Setting measurable objective organization and business unit • Establishing plan for how quality will be assure project or plan • “Plan a change to the process. Predict the effect this change will have and plan how the effects will be measured” Do
• Ensure that work is performed by adequately
trained people • Performing work based on plan ,procedure • Necessary suitable equipment and tools • Maintain record of purchase item • Plan a change to the process. Predict the effect this change will have and plan how the effects will be measured Cheking • Checking can be mean monitoring or measurement of items • Asking customer about there satisfaction • Monitoring and measurement with equipment – care of equipment and machinery • Evaluate the effect • - effective or correcting effort Acting • Taking corrective action • ACT: Decide on changes needed to improve the process Advantages
• - Daily routine management-for the individual
and/or the team - Problem-solving process - Project management - Continuous development - Vendor development - Human resources development - New product development Disadvantages • Initial introduction costs- training workers and disrupting current production whilst being implemented . • Benefits may not be seen for several years • Workers may be resistant to change – may feel less secure in jobs CONCLUSION
• PDCL CYCLE GIVE Clear identification of the
problem and metrics, a prototyping of the solution, evaluation of the changes and subsequently, a full-scale implementation (read replication) of the success.
