Abstract

The quality improvement (QI) story is an efficient format for presenting process improvement studies to management. QI stories standardize quality control reports, help avoid logic errors in analysis, and make reports easier to understand. QI stories can also be used to facilitate the transition to a style of management that focuses on continuous improvement. There are seven steps in constructing a QI story. They follow W. Edwards Deming's cycle of plan-do-check-act (PDCA).
