Plan (P): In this stage, you plan and establish the objectives and processes necessary to deliver results in accordance with the desired outcome. This involves defining the problem, setting goals, and identifying the resources needed.

 

Do (D): This stage involves implementing the plan and executing the processes. It may include small-scale testing of the plan, collecting data, and making necessary adjustments to improve the process.

 

Check (C): In this stage, the results of the implemented plan are systematically evaluated. Data is collected and compared against the expected outcomes. This step is crucial for understanding whether the implemented changes have led to the desired improvements.

 

Act (A): Based on the results of the "Check" stage, actions are taken to standardize the process if it was successful or to modify the plan if improvements are needed. This stage completes the cycle by incorporating lessons learned into future planning and execution.
