The Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) management methodology has been adopted by International Management Standards (such as ISO 9000, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 (ISO 45001), ISO 50001, ISO 22001, etc.) as a way for businesses to control and continuously improve processes and products. SCANNELL has been designed with the PDCA methodology in mind.
