The next steps involve developing a plan with measurable goals and executing it. The cycle continues with checking the results and summarizing the experiences to consolidate achievements. It concludes by identifying unresolved issues, ensuring a seamless transition to the next PDCA cycle. This structured approach helps in systematically addressing quality issues and fostering ongoing improvement.
