The Check step in the PDCA cycle is the stage where the results are analyzed. It involves monitoring and evaluating the actions taken in the Do step. It is used to determine the effectiveness of the plan and to avoid recurring mistakes. The Check step identifies and assesses issues in the management process, such as gaps, nonconformities, risks, and opportunities. The Check step also involves collecting and analyzing data and information related to the performance and effectiveness of the BCMS. This can be done through various methods, such as audits, reviews, tests, exercises, surveys, and feedback. The Check step provides valuable input for the Act step, where corrective and preventive actions are taken to address the issues and improve the BCMS.
