10/08/20152 Agenda Ensuring a continuous process – introducing the ’Plan-Do-Check- Act’ Cycle Working with action plans as a continuous process Communicating about action plan achievements

10/08/20153 The ’Plan-Do-Check-Act’ Cycle (

10/08/20154 The ’Plan-Do-Check-Act’ Cycle – cont.  The model provides a framework for the improvement of a process or system  It can be used to guide the entire improvement project, or to develop specific projects once target improvement areas have been identified  The PDCA cycle is a dynamic model  The completion of one turn of the cycle flows into the beginning of the next

10/08/20155 The ’Plan-Do-Check-Act’ Cycle – cont.  Plan: You analyse what you intend to improve, looking for areas that hold opportunities for change  Do: You implement the change you decided on in the plan phase  Check: After you have implemented the change, you check whether you have achieved the desired results, and assess what was learned and what went wrong  Act: After planning, implementing and monitoring a change, you must decide whether to continue that particular change. If it consumed too much time, led to no improvement etc., you may abort the change and plan a new one. However, if the change has led to a desirable improvement or outcome, you may consider expanding the trial to a different area. This sends you back into the plan phase of the cycle
