The correct answer is: To promote structured problem-solving and continuous improvement

Implementing the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle has a primary goal of promoting structured problem-solving and continuous improvement. This iterative method is fundamental in various management practices, particularly in quality management and service improvement. PDCA facilitates a systematic approach to identify issues, test solutions, analyze results, and implement effective changes. The "Plan" phase involves identifying a goal or a change that needs to be made and planning the necessary steps for the implementation. The "Do" phase involves executing the plan. The "Check" phase is about analyzing the results to determine whether the changes were successful. Finally, the "Act" phase involves implementing the successful changes more broadly or adjusting them based on the findings. This methodology helps organizations create a cycle of ongoing improvement by promoting regular review and refinement of processes, ensuring that they adapt and improve over time. By doing so, organizations can address problems more efficiently and improve service delivery and quality continuously.
