2. The origin of PDCA has not been documented clearly. Several individuals have been given credit for either describing, creating or labeling the PDCA cycle. Irrespective of its originator, it is known as Deming's PDCA cycle. The author is questioning the current implementation of PDCA, not its origin or originator.
