Please Help! "Dr. Deming’s PDCA cycle is applicable to any process" advice/suggestions?
I have a term paper due in three weeks. The subject is "Dr. Deming’s PDCA cycle is applicable to any process". Can anyone give me some ideas how I might approach this subject? Just how is it applicable to any process?

How about applying the PDCA (preferably PDSA) cycle to your paper? Or do you have any other course projects? A household project? A PDSA cycle on preparing dinner?

Applying the PDSA to the act of writing your paper may become a bit circular, but could be interesting. To a certain extent, you have already started the Planning phase. The Do could be thought of as the outline phase. Or write a small section of the paper. You could then post it back here to get comments (Study the results). Then you could Act by writing the whole paper. You may even want to post it again for comments and swing through the cycle once more.

Steve

You could try applying it to the PDCA process itself - and consider whether (i) it needs a first step "A" for Assess (before you Plan anything), and (ii) it is better explained not as a cycle but as an iterative process, where each journey through the process is a separate instance of a generic set of tasks, for which the available resources and influences may vary, as may the performance of the tasks.

(No doubt Steve P will have a view on this!)
