PDCA Cycle - Continuous Improvement Framework for Business & Quality Management #176834 (License: Personal Use)

This visual represents the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle, a foundational model in quality management and lean methodologies. Each phase-Plan (identify problems and plan solutions), Do (implement the plan on a small scale), Check (evaluate results against expectations), and Act (standardize or adjust)-forms a continuous loop driving incremental improvement. Widely used in ISO standards, Six Sigma, and agile project management, it supports data-driven decision-making and organizational learning.
