Our Methodology
All our Implementation methodology is based on the PDCA (plan-do-check-act) and RBT (Risk Based Thinking) PDCA+RBT (plan-do-check-act and Risk Based Thinking) is an iterative five-step problem-solving process typically used in business process improvement. It is also known as the Deming cycle, Shewhart cycle, Deming wheel, or plan-do-study-act.
PLAN
Establish the objectives and processes necessary to deliver results in accordance with the expected output. By making the expected output the focus, it differs from other techniques in that the completeness and accuracy of the specification is also part of the improvement.
DO
Implement the new processes. Often on a small scale if possible.
CHECK
Measure the new processes and compare the results against the expected results to ascertain any differences.
ACT
Analyze the differences to determine their cause. Each will be part of either one or more of the P-D-C-A steps. Determine where to apply changes that will include improvement. When a pass through these four steps does not result in the need to improve, refine the scope to which PDCA is applied until there is a plan that involves improvement.
RBT (Risk Based Thinking)
Risk-based thinking ensures these risks are identified, considered and controlled throughout the design and use of the management system. In previous editions of management systems, a clause on preventive action was separated from the whole. By using risk-based thinking the consideration of risk is integral.
