    PDCA, also known as the Deming cycle, is a four-step management method used for continuous process improvement. The four steps are: Plan - establish objectives and processes to deliver expected results; Do - implement the plan; Check - study actual results against expected results to identify differences; Act - request corrective actions on significant differences and determine where changes should be applied. This iterative cycle allows for continuous learning and improvement of processes.

    Meaning
    The steps in each successive PDCA cycle are[2][3] : PLAN Establish the objectives and processes necessary to deliver results in accordance with the expected output (the target or goals). By establishing output expectations, the completeness and accuracy of the specification is also a part of the targeted improvement. When possible start on a small scale to test possible effects. DO Implement the plan, execute the The PDCA cycle[1] process, make the product. Collect data for charting and analysis in the following "CHECK" and "ACT" steps. CHECK Study the actual results (measured and collected in "DO" above) and compare against the expected results (targets or goals from the "PLAN") to ascertain any differences. Charting data can make this much easier to see trends over several PDCA cycles and in order to convert the collected data into information. Information is what you need for the next step "ACT". ACT Request corrective actions on significant differences between actual and planned results. Analyze the differences to determine their root causes. Determine where to apply changes that will include
