DEMING WHEEL

Plan. Do. Check. Act. These are the four basic elements of the Deming Wheel for decision-making.

Plan determines what to achieve. Do executes the steps of the plan. Check obtains feedback. Act makes revisions. The wheel continues to turn, each spin lending a greater level of refinement.
