Operating Principle of ISO's Management System Standards


Plan – Do – Check – Act



The Plan – Do – Check – Act (PDCA) cycle is the operating principle of ISO's management system standards.

Plan – establish objectives and make plans (analyze your organization's situation, establish your overall objectives and set your interim targets, and develop plans to achieve them).


Do – implement your plans (do what you planned do).

Check – measure your results (measure/monitor how far your actual achievements meet your planned objectives).

Act – correct and improve your plans and how you put them into practice (correct and learn from your mistakes to improve your plans in order to achieve better results next time).
