Pdca Cycle

The document discusses the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, a four step process for quality improvement. The four steps are: 1) Plan - develop a plan to effect improvement, 2) Do - carry out the plan, 3) Check - observe the effects of the plan, and 4) Act - take action and make necessary corrections to carry out the original plan in an iterative cycle. The document provides examples of how core processes like setting policy and objectives can follow the PDCA cycle. It also discusses how support processes like training, documentation and reviews can use the PDCA approach.

The PDCA cycle has the advantage of being cyclical - implying that
improvement never ceases. Few examples of PDCA are given on the
next slide.
