PDCA – A Powerful Tool for Managing Turn-Key Projects

PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) – continuously improving in a methodical way – also known as the “Deming Wheel” and “Shewhart Cycle” is an iterative, four-stage approach for continually improving processes, products, or services, and for resolving problems. It involves systematically testing possible solutions, assessing the results, and implementing the ones that are shown to work. During his experience in the cement industrial sector in Thailand and with the application of ISO 9000 standards, our speaker used PDCA to reduce non-quality cost of processes for many years. After moving to the infrastructure and construction-related projects, our speaker also implemented PDCA in two Government Turn-key projects to increase efficiency of the project processes. He found how useful and practical PDCA is in assisting project managers manage their constraints (scope, time, and cost). Our speaker would like to share his experiences on how such a powerful tool can help project managers improve their project management practices.
