The PDSA CYCLE is a systematic series of steps for gaining valuable learning and knowledge for the continual IMPROVEMENT of a product or process. Also known as the Deming WHEEL, or Deming Cycle, the concept and application was first introduced to Dr. Deming by his mentor, Walter Shewhart of the FAMOUS Bell Laboratories in New York.
The four phases in the Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle involve:

• Plan: Identifying and analyzing the problem.
• Do: Developing and testing a potential solution.
• Check: Measuring how effective the test solution was, and analyzing whether it could be improved in any way.
• Act: IMPLEMENTING the improved solution fully.
