Detailed explanation-1: -Edwards Deming, who is considered by many to be the father of modern quality control; however, he used PDSA (Plan-Do-Study-Act) and referred to it as the “Shewhart cycle". Later in Deming’s career, he modified PDCA to “Plan, Do, Study, Act” (PDSA) because he felt that “check” emphasized inspection over analysis.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA) cycle started out as the Plan, Do, Check, Act cycle and was introduced by Walter Shewart in the 1920s.
Detailed explanation-3: -The PDCA cycle had its origin with Dr. W. Edwards Deming’s lecture in Japan in 1950.
Detailed explanation-4: -PDCA (plan-do-check-act, sometimes seen as plan-do-check-adjust) is a repetitive four-stage model for continuous improvement (CI) in business process management. The PDCA model is also known as the Deming circle/cycle/wheel, Shewhart cycle, control circle/cycle, or plan–do–study–act (PDSA).
