PDCA is a common way to implement a project or any other work. That is, before you can do anything, you must have a thorough plan (plan) under which to perform, check that the task has been completed as planned (check), and take corrective or improvement action if necessary (action). Then move on to the next cycle of PDCA, continuous improvement iteratively and incrementally.
The PDCA model can be briefly described as follows:
Plan (Planning): According to customer requirements and organizational policy, establish the necessary goals and processes for providing results.
Do (implementation): implementation process.
Check (Inspection): Monitor and measure the process and products according to the policies, objectives and product requirements, and report the results.
Act (Disposal): Take measures to continuously improve process performance.
