Deming's cycle of continuous improvement is also known as the PDCA cycle (plan-do-check-act). This cycle emphasizes the need to plan a change, implement it on a small scale to test the effectiveness (do), review and analyze the results (check), and make necessary modifications and continue to implement (act). The fourteen principles proposed by Deming are also aligned with this cycle, emphasizing the need for continuous improvement, customer focus, and employee involvement in the process.
