The PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle is a management methodology for continuous improvement. It can be effectively applied to automation projects to enhance their efficiency, reliability, and overall success.
Here’s how MRC uses PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) and DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) processes to coach you through your automation projects: Right from the start, MRC applies the PDCA approach to help you plan the essential components of your automation journey. Together, you set clear goals and strategies for your projects. As you proceed into the implementation phase, MRC provides continuous support, closely monitoring the performance of automated processes. In the “Check” phase, they collaborate with you to assess outcomes against the predetermined objectives. If any deviations are identified, MRC takes swift action in the “Act” phase, adjusting strategies and making improvements to ensure your automation projects are on track and delivering optimal results.
Simultaneously, MRC integrates the DMAIC framework into the coaching process. They help you define the specific challenges and goals for your automation projects, ensuring a clear roadmap for success. Throughout the “Measure” phase, MRC assists you in evaluating the current state of your processes, employing data-driven insights to identify areas for enhancement. Collaboratively moving into the “Improve” phase, MRC guides you through the implementation of targeted improvements, ensuring that the changes align with your overarching goals. To solidify the gains made, they work with you to establish effective controls in the “Control” phase, creating a sustainable and continuously improving approach to your automation projects. Through this combined use of PDCA and DMAIC, MRC coaches you to navigate the complexities of automation with a structured and effective methodology, fostering success and efficiency in your projects.
