1. Deming Change Cycle Template
The Deming Change Cycle is a method that is used to improve the quality of the organization’s products. Specifically, the cycle provides a systematic plan for improving the quality of the products that meets the needs of the industry as well as minimizes any errors or product defects. However, the changes that are made should not be minimal. Rather the organization should be considering broader changes to processes that would improve the quality of the products the organization produces.
Plan – The first step in the process is to determine the ultimate goal that should be achieved by the end of the change process.
Do – The plan should be executed over a long span of time and should be done in small steps. Additionally, each step toward achieving the goal requires time because there is much trial and error involved. 
Study – This stage begins at the end of each trial in the change process. The study phase involves determining how well the organization was able to accurately predict the outcome of the change process.
Act – After selecting the change that will produce the biggest quality improvement, the final stage is to implement it. A detailed record should also be kept at this stage to obtain more information about what aspects of the business the change improved.
