APPLICATION OF PDCA CYCLE
The Deming Cycle provides a useful, problem solving process. It is particularly effective for:
Helping implement Kaizen Continuous
Improvement, when the cycle is repeated again as new areas for
improvement are sought and solved.
New solutions and improvement to processes that are repeated frequently. In this situation, you will benefit from extra improvements built in to the process many times over once it is implemented.
Range of possible new solutions to problems, and trying them out and improving them in a controlled
way before selecting one for full implementation.
Avoiding the large scale wastage of resources that comes with full scale implementation of a mediocre
or poor solution.
