Most Kaizen activities will be implemented through the PDCA cycle. This is a cycle is a continuous one and is broken down into four steps:
*→Plan: Identify the issue at hand and brainstorm possible solutions.
→ Do: Implement the course of action chosen to address the problem.
→Check: Results are analyzed and it is determined whether or not the plan was effective.
→Act: If it was effective, duplicate the plan in other areas of work and standardize the practice. If not, go back to the drawing board and try other solutions.
