[Virtual Presenter] Welcome everyone to the meeting. Today, we are here to discuss the Continuous Improvement Academy and the courses they offer. Our main topic of discussion will be the P-D-C-A problem-solving method and how it can be used for continuous improvement. We will be examining the four courses offered by the academy and how they can help organizations improve their processes and outcomes. So, let's get started and learn more about the P-D-C-A cycle and how it can be used for continuous improvement..

[Audio] The P-D-C-A cycle is a powerful method for continuous improvement. It is a problem-solving approach that consists of four main stages. The first stage involves identifying the problem, setting goals, and determining the best approach to solve it. The second stage is testing the solution to confirm its effectiveness. The third stage involves evaluating the results and determining if the improvement was successful or not. The final stage involves making changes based on the knowledge gained. By following the P-D-C-O cycle, we can continuously improve our processes and achieve our goals.. 

Scene 2

PDCA is a problem-solving method that
involves:
planning an improvement, 
trying it out, 
seeing if it works, and 
then making adjustments based on what
you learn.

[Audio] The P-D-C-A cycle is a well-known tool used by organizations to continuously improve. It is also referred to as the Deming Cycle or Deming Wheel. The P-D-S-A cycle, with the S representing study, is a straightforward yet effective approach for enhancing processes and results. The P-D-C-A cycle includes four essential steps: Plan, Do, Check, and Act. By following this cycle, organizations can identify issues, implement changes, and evaluate the impact of those changes. This enables a constant state of improvement and development. It is vital for organizations to adopt the P-D-C-A cycle in order to enhance their processes and outcomes.. 

Scene 3

It is alternatively referred to as the Deming
Cycle or Deming Wheel, named after W.
Edwards Deming, who first presented the
concept in Japan during the 1950s.
Additionally, it is recognized as PDSA, with
the "S" representing "study."

[Audio] As a society, we have come to recognize the importance and effectiveness of the P-D-C-O cycle in driving continuous improvement. This widely-used method is designed to optimize processes and help achieve goals. The cycle consists of four distinct stages. In the first stage, we establish specific goals for a process and identify the necessary steps to reach them. It is crucial that we clearly and precisely define our objectives so that everyone understands what is expected of them. During the second stage, we implement the changes that we have identified. We must take decisive action and efficiently put these changes into effect. In the third stage, we evaluate the results in relation to our performance. We must assess whether the changes have had the desired effect and identify any areas where further improvements can be made. Finally, in the fourth stage, we standardize and secure the changes or begin the cycle again. We must ensure that the changes we have made are sustainable and will continue to positively impact our processes and goals. The benefits of the P-D-C-O cycle have been observed in many organizations, and we believe it to be a valuable tool for anyone seeking to improve their processes and achieve their goals. By following this cycle, we can constantly improve our processes, identify areas for further improvement, and make changes that will have a positive impact on our organization and customers.. 

Scene 4

The PDCA cycle comprises four stages:
Plan – establish goals for a process and
identify necessary changes to reach
them.
1.
Do – execute the changes.
2.
Check – assess the outcomes in relation
to performance.
3.
Act – standardize and secure the change,
or initiate the cycle anew based on the
outcomes.

[Audio] We are excited to announce that we believe the P-D-C-O cycle is a powerful tool for continuous improvement. The first stage of the P-D-C-O cycle involves planning, setting goals, and identifying necessary changes. To do this, you must first identify the problem you are addressing and define your desired outcome. Once the problem and desired outcome have been identified, you must evaluate the current situation and come up with solutions. The next step is to select the most effective solution, one that will provide the greatest return on investment. Lean.org is an excellent resource for learning more about this process. By incorporating the P-D-C-O cycle into your operations, you can improve efficiency and achieve your objectives in a structured manner. If you are looking to enhance your continuous improvement efforts, consider integrating the P-D-C-O cycle into your workflow..

Specify the scope: Pinpoint the
problem you are tackling.
Determine the target: What are your
aims and aspirations?
Assess the scenario: Familiarize

[Audio] We are eager to share our expertise and experience in implementing the P-D-C-O cycle for continuous improvement. This tool can be applied to any process or project to ensure ongoing enhancements. We understand that making changes can be difficult, but with the right approach, it can be done successfully. In this presentation, we will demonstrate how to select the best solution for your specific needs, implement it in your workplace, and create the final product. We know that challenges may arise during the implementation process, but we will show you how to overcome them and establish a standardized approach that all employees can follow. We will provide you with the necessary resources and support to train your workers and ensure they are following the standard, even days later. We firmly believe that by using the P-D-C-O cycle, you can foster a culture of continuous improvement which will lead to improved products, more streamlined processes, and ultimately, a thriving business. We hope you find this presentation informative and valuable. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about the P-D-C-O cycle, please don't hesitate to contact us. Thank you for your time and attention..

To ensure the success of an improvement
project, it must not only work initially but
also sustain its effectiveness over time. This is
the essence of the "Check" phase in the
PDCA cycle.

[Audio] Welcome to the Continuous Improvement Academy! Today, we will be discussing how to utilize the P-D-C-O process to drive continuous improvement. For those unfamiliar, the P-D-C-O process involves four steps: Plan, Do, Check, and Act. This straightforward framework can help you identify areas for improvement and develop solutions to reach your goals. However, it is important to keep in mind that not all plans will lead to successful outcomes. If your implementation did not achieve the desired results, it is necessary to repeat the P-D-C-O process with a new Plan in order to find a better solution. On the other hand, if your team successfully met their objectives, it is important to recognize and congratulate them. Doing so will help build momentum and motivate your team to continue working towards your goals.. 

Scene 8

If your implementation failed to
achieve the targets, this will lead to a
repetition of the PDCA with another
Plan to figure out a new or better
solution to achieve your goals.
If you managed to achieve the goals  
you should congratulate your team
and show your appreciation!

Nevertheless, the work continues. It's time to consider the
next problem to tackle. Prioritize your issues, select the
most significant one (typically the one offering the
greatest expected benefit for the effort), and initiate a new
PDCA cycle.

[Audio] Welcome to the 10th slide out of 14 in our presentation on the P-D-C-A cycle. It is an effective tool for continuous improvement, which we are all familiar with. Today, we will focus on another important lesson that mistakes are not a failure, but rather a step towards improvement. We have all heard that mistakes are a part of the learning process, but in continuous improvement, it is more than that. It is an opportunity to identify areas where we can improve and take steps towards better processes and results. This is an important mindset that Professor Bob Emiliani, author of Kaizen Forever: Teachings of Chihiro Nakao, has highlighted. He emphasizes that failure should not be feared, but rather seen as a step towards improvement. So let us remember that mistakes are not failures, but simply small bumps on the road to success. Let us use them as an opportunity to learn, grow, and become better versions of ourselves and our organizations. We will now continue our presentation and take a closer look at how the P-D-C-A cycle can be implemented in our daily work. Thank you for your attention..
