RE: PDS(C)A

["Miller, Charles L CIV (SSSD)" <charles.l.miller1@navy.mil>]

 Pages 32,59,131-133 of ISBN 0-911379-07-X, "The New Economics," is one of many references.
 Page 32, "Instead of setting numerical quoats, management should work on improvment of the process.  A flow diagram displays a process.  The problem is how to improve it.  The PDSA cycle will help (p. 132)."
 Note too:
 All is going on and has been long before us.
  Plan includes developing a theory, discovering where you are and where you want to be then developing the issues, then steps to get their.  
  Without a theory, the Study in front is a waste.
  As for the use of study, it could include verification as well as other steps in the assessment for the study.
  Awakward as it may seem, it is a paridigm shift and uncomfortable at first.  It is against the norm of training so if you are or have been nurtured by University brain-wash and maybe are brain-washing yourself, you have a conditions I suffered through already.  My pride restricted me for the longest time.

  PDSA is system's approach to system's thinking and not analitical approach to parts and pieces thinking.
