The circular layout centered on a green circular loop labeled “P D C A Cycle” at the center in curved arrows forming a clockwise flow. Four blue phase labels positioned around it: “Plan” at the upper right, “Do” at the bottom right, “Check” at the lower left, and “Act” at the upper left. A larger outer ring of blue curved arrows forming a clockwise loop connecting eight numbered steps placed around the circle. Starting at the top right under “Plan”, Step 1 reads, “Identify port and indicators”, followed by Step 2, “Revisit selected indicators”. Moving clockwise into the “Do” phase on the right side, Step 3 reads “Verify marks slash goals”, and Step 4 reads “Adequate marks slash goals plus Define cycle”. Continuing downward, Step 5 reads “Request and manage resources”. In the lower left under “Check”, Step 6 reads “Monitor the actions and performance of indicators”, Step 7 reads “Collect results of most influencing indicators”, and Step 8 reads “Collect results of remaining indicators”. Moving upward into the “Act” phase on the left side, Step 9 reads “Evaluate the results and impacts on the T B L and P P T axis”, followed by Step 10 at the top, which reads “Feedback plus implement improvements”. Arrows connect each step in sequence, forming a continuous clockwise loop around the central “P D C A Cycle” label, with the four phase labels positioned around the outer ring corresponding to their respective segments.A practical guide for MSMEs
