What is the PDCA Cycle?

PDCA is a four step management method used in business to improve processes or products. The four steps i.e. Plan, Do, Check and Act.

Plan --> Establish the objectives/ processes necessary to deliver results in accordance with the targets/goals.

Do --> Implement the plan

Check --> Study the actual results and evaluate the output

Act --> If the check gives a positive go ahead and shows that there has been improvement, then Act is the step that proves how the management should act in future.

Thanks Ahmed for your invitation. Abbreviations well-known of  the four steps used in the Management tasks to achieve the objectives of a certain Business.  Four words for the four steps which have to be considered to create and plan the specific Business and then start the execution process and then checking the results for the evaluation process. According to the output the Management decides to go ahead or to amend the plans to enhance level of the performance for the plan applications in the processes and products. After amendments the same Cycle will be repeated as : Plan - Do - Check - Act .

PDCA (plan do check act/adjust)is a repetitive four stage model for continuous improvement in business process management.pdca also known as deming circle,shewhart cycle.

Thank you .i agree with above experts valuable answer.

As rightly mentioned by Prity , PDCA is a Four Cycle quality assurance & quality control theory, originally proposed by Shewhart and modified by Deming . PDCA is a way of making small improvements and testing their impact before making big changes or changes to the process as a whole. PDCA is an iterative process.

PDCA (plan-do-check-act) is a cyclic process of management control methodology used for continuous improvement in product and services wherein each of the four steps of processes corresponds to specific set of activities. Plan is to define objectives, desirable outcomes. Do is to execute the plan. Check is to evaluate results and report for achievement of objectives. Act is the feedback process of compiling learning with an aim to improve processes over the next cycle if need be

PDCA (plan–do–check–act or plan–do–check–adjust) is an iterative four-step management method used in business for the control and continual improvement of processes and products. It is also known as the Deming circle/cycle/wheel, Shewhart cycle, control circle/cycle, or plan–do–study–act (PDSA). Another version of this PDCA cycle is OPDCA. The added "O" stands for observation or as some versions say "Grasp the current condition." This emphasis on observation and current condition has currency with Lean manufacturing
