The PDCA cycle (Plan-Do-Check-Act) is a continuous improvement process that takes place in four phases: planning, implementation, review and action. It is used for process optimization and problem solving.

  • Planning: Definition of objectives and measures.
  • Implementation: Implementation of the planned measures.
  • Review: Checking and evaluating the results.
  • Action: Adaptation and improvement of the measures based on the results.

The PDCA cycle promotes continuous improvement and process optimization.
