The concept of [[PDCA]] which stands for Plan-Do-Check-Act (also called the Deming cycle/Shewhart cycle), is a "cyclical method for continuous improvement in business processes that is commonly used to achieve kaizen. The four steps are designed to be repeated iteratively, allowing for ongoing refinement and optimization."<ref>[https://www.google.com/search?q=PDCA&oq=PDCA&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyDwgAEEUYORiDARixAxiABDIPCAEQABgUGIcCGLEDGIAEMgoIAhAAGLEDGIAEMgwIAxAAGBQYhwIYgAQyDQgEEAAYgwEYsQMYgAQyBggFEEUYPDIGCAYQRRg8MgYIBxAuGEDSAQgyNDc5ajBqMagCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 PDCA]</ref>

Another common strategy to achieve kaizen is Six Sigma which "is a data-driven methodology for process improvement that aims to reduce defects and variation in processes, leading to increased efficiency and profitability. It's a structured approach, often using the DMAIC framework (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), to identify and eliminate the root causes of defects and improve quality. The term "Six Sigma" itself comes from statistics, representing a process with a very low defect rate (3.4 defects per million opportunities)."<ref>[https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+six+sigma&oq=what+is+six+sigma+&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQABiABDIHCAIQABiABDIHCAMQABiABDIHCAQQABiABDIHCAUQABiABDIHCAYQABiABDIHCAcQABiABDIHCAgQABiABDIGCAkQLhhA0gEIOTMxN2owajGoAgCwAgA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 What is Six Sigma?]</ref>
