Plan. Do. Check. Act.

Introducing PDCA Tracker, a versatile Model-driven Power App on Microsoft Dataverse that scales with your organization's maturity. Whether you need a simple task tracker or a comprehensive enterprise Continuous Improvement (CI) system, PDCA Tracker adapts to your needs. It unifies Projects, Audits, Waste Walks, and Daily Kaizen into a single, secure, and highly visual environment.

The "Start Simple, Scale Effortlessly" Philosophy

At its core, PDCA Tracker is designed to eliminate friction. Users can start by defining simple, universal tasks in a centralized hub. As your requirements mature, these tasks can be linked to sophisticated parent modules (Projects, Audits, CCCs), allowing you to seamlessly transition from basic task management to full-scale PDCA methodology without changing platforms.

Key Features

Universal Task Management (The Central Hub)

Break down silos with a unified "My Tasks" view. While the system supports complex data, the user experience remains simple: one list for all your actions.

Context-Aware: A task is just a task—until you need context. Tasks automatically inherit details from their parent (Project, Audit, or Meeting), giving you the "Big Picture" without leaving your to-do list.
Scalable Usage: Use it like Microsoft Planner for quick actions, or leverage the full relational power of Dataverse for complex operational tracking.

Intelligent Backlog & Triage

Never lose an idea. The Backlog module is designed for rapid capture—"shoot" ideas, observations, or feedback into the system immediately without worrying about details.

Triage Later: Once captured, items sit in the "Backlog" until you are ready to prioritize them.
Flexible Conversion: With one click, convert a Backlog item into a Project, Task, or Meeting Agenda, ensuring that raw ideas evolve into structured execution.

Waste Walks (Gemba): Mobile-first evidence capture that turns shop floor observations into immediate tasks.

Project Management: End-to-end tracking of risks, financial benefits, and auto-generated governance docs.

Audits & 5S: Integrated BCS scoring drives corrective actions directly from audit findings.

CCC Module: Quick-response problem solving using the 5 Whys and Countermeasure framework.

Why PDCA Tracker? (The Technical Edge)

PDCA Tracker is not just a standard Model-Driven App; it is an enterprise solution enriched with Pro-Code components that sets it apart from basic tools like Microsoft Planner or Excel.

1. Enterprise Security via C# Automation (Server-Side)

Unlike basic sharing models, PDCA Tracker utilizes server-side C# automation to auto-provision Owner Teams and cascade strict permissions via Access Teams, ensuring enterprise-grade data privacy without manual administration.

2. Pro-Code User Experience (PCF)

We enhance standard Dynamics 365 forms with custom visual components. Status indicators, teams, and priority levels are rendered graphically—not just as text—providing a modern, intuitive interface that is readable at a glance.

Target Users

Industries: Manufacturing (Automotive, Aerospace), Logistics, Healthcare, and any organization practicing Lean/Six Sigma.
Roles: Continuous Improvement Managers, Quality Engineers, Production Supervisors, and Operations Leadership.

Benefits

Operational Excellence: Replaces fragmented spreadsheets and email threads with a single source of truth.
Simplicity Meets Power: Easy enough for frontline workers to log tasks; powerful enough for management to audit global compliance.
Data Integrity: Server-side validation ensures that your data relationships (Parent -> Child -> Task) never break.
Governance: Automates the "boring stuff"—security assignments, notifications, and meeting agendas—so teams can focus on solving problems.

Why solution based on Microsoft Power Platform?

Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, and Copilot) provides a secure, scalable foundation for digital transformation. With millions of users, it ensures reliability and modernization through updates. Seamless integration with MS 365 apps and extensive documentation simplify adoption. Dataverse ensures secure data management, making Power Platform a top choice for innovative solutions.
