American physicist Walter Andrew Shewhart, a pioneer in the field of mathematical quality control, proposed the PDCA cycle in the 1920s. Another American, Professor William Edwards Deming, was known as the master of quality control, which was popularized internationally in the 1950s and is remembered for its significance in developing manufacturing practices in the United States after World War II and for his consulting work with Japanese executives.


What is PDCA Cycle?

Deming is working to develop a way to determine what causes products to fail to meet or meet consumer needs. The PDCA approach has helped many organizations come up with ideas that need to be improved. It is important to know that in a cycle of continuous improvement, this cycle should be repeated in order to move on to the next level.
