• ADVANTAGES
• DISADVANTAGE
• CONCLUSION
 INTRODUCTION

• Quality management started with process

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.

 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.
