The plandocheckact cycle is a fourstep model for carrying out change. Just as a circle has
no end, the PDCA cycle should be repeated again and again for continuous improvement.
PDCA 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 plandostudy
act (PDSA).
Made popular by Dr W. Edwards Deming, who is considered by many to be the father of

1. Plan. Recognize an opportunity and plan a change.

2. Do. Test the change. Carry out a small-scale study.
3. Check. Review the test, analyze the results and identify what youve learned.
4. Act. Take action based on what you learned in the study step: If the change did not work, go
through the cycle again with a different plan. If you were successful, incorporate what you learned
from the test into wider changes. Use what you learned to plan new improvements, beginning the
cycle again.
