Free Poster: Plan, Do, Check, Act
Effective Continuous Improvement programs utilise a cycle referred to as PDCA – Plan, Do, Check, Act. It is a process of sustained Continuous Improvement that involves identifying an improvement opportunity and then:
- Developing a PLAN of action,
- DO-ing or implementing the plan,
- CHECK-ing the results of the implementation, how the business is tracking and setting up measures and breakpoints,
- Further ACT-ions required and a new Plan developed. Return to 1st step
