Which of these elements is not part of the Deming Wheel?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks which element is not part of the Deming Wheel, also known as the PDCA cycle.
Option 1: act. In PDCA, 'Act' is the fourth step where improvements are standardized and implemented based on what was learned in the check phase. Since it is indeed a component of the wheel, this option describes something that is part of the cycle, not something outside it.
Option 2: plan. 'Plan' is the first step of PDCA, where objectives are set and processes are designed. Because planning is an integral element of the wheel, this option is not the correct choice for 'not part.'
Option 3: design. While design considerations appear in the planning phase, the explicit named element 'design' is not one of the four PDCA steps. The wheel focuses on Plan, Do, Check, and Act as discrete actions, not a separate step called 'design.' Therefore, this is the candidate that is not part of the PDCA cycle.
Option 4: check. 'Check' is the third step of PDCA, where results are measured and compared against expectations to identify gaps. This confirms it is part of the wheel, so this option is not the correct answer for 'not part.'
