PDCA Problem Solving Primer Presentation (PowerPoint PPT Deck)

DESCRIPTION
 

This PDCA Problem Solving Primer PPT is a facilitation‑ready deck designed as a concise introduction to structured problem‑solving using the PDCA cycle. This primer highlights the fundamentals of PDCA (Plan–Do–Check–Act), guiding participants through the 8‑step problem‑solving process and equipping them with practical tools such as the 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagram, and Pareto Chart. Case examples and interactive activities provide learners with a clear understanding of how PDCA helps organizations close performance gaps and sustain improvements.

​

This PDCA Problem Solving Primer Presentation (PDCA PPT) is ideal for awareness sessions, leadership briefings, and introductory workshops where the goal is to build foundational understanding rather than deliver full facilitation training.

​

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
