Introduction
There is currently a very pronounced concern about everything
referente a la calidad y su implantación en los sistemas productivos. Ello
es así debido a que en estos momentos los productor, sean industriales o
services and their processes are forced to include what is referred to as
quality assured. Thus, the management that leads to applying quality to
all levels, according to management systems and techniques
current, it has a wide variety of included aspects that we have
proposed to expose as much as possible.
We will also try to classify the ...
meaning and the relationship existing between the different concepts that
they encompass the scope of quality. All of this will also carry with it,
develop the concept PDPC (Process Decision Program Chart) as
a new business management philosophy based on quality at the level of
every company, its organization and the human team that makes it up.
What is a PDPC?
The decision process chart (PDPC) is defined as
a new management planning tool that identifies
Systematically what could go wrong in a developing plan.
Countermeasures are developed to prevent or compensate for those problems.
By using PDPC, you can review the plan to avoid problems or be ready.
to give the best response when a problem occurs.
It is used to develop a process or flow of chained activities,
in order to anticipate what actions to take, taking into account all the
situations that could happen.
Eventually, it allows selecting the best contingency actions.
to achieve the desired results, under the assumption that the process
it can evolve according to different alternatives.
The PDPC method seeks to anticipate possible problems that could arise.
to engage in a process and in response to these types of problems, to anticipate
the possible outcomes providing options to counteract them, what we
will lead to the best possible solutions.
In general, it answers the type of question 'what would happen if.......?'. It is very
used in security problems or when a complex plan must be
guaranteed in terms of effectiveness of the results. Your close relatives

Steps for the construction of the PDPC diagram
Step 1: Form a working group to analyze the activity that is

contingency and prevention situations.
Step 2: The necessary actions for development are noted.

What could be wrong or not working here?
What contingent action could be taken in this situation?
Are there preventive actions that would avoid or reduce this risk?
Step 3: A possible explanation or solution is reformulated for each
previously identified problem.
Step 4: A new diagram is drawn with all the actions and the
solutions to any potential problems that may arise. It joins
with dashed lines the elements that can influence each other.
Step 5: The groups of actions that can be enclosed in a box can be

Here are some questions that can be used to identify problems.
What entries must be present? Are there undesirable entries?
linked to good entries?
What outputs are you expecting? Could others also happen?
What am I supposed to do with this? Is there anything else I could do in
your place or moreover?
Does this depend on actions, conditions, or events? Are these
controllable or uncontrollable?
What cannot be changed or is inflexible?
Have you allowed any margin for error?
What assumptions are you making? Could these turn out to be
incorrect?
What has been your experience in similar situations? How is it?
is this different?
Example of a PDPC

a beginning (Specification of objectives), to the desired end
(Activity development). The diagram shows some activities

PDPC is a dynamic method that analyzes the actions of a system
as a whole and can include problems influenced by action
human and environmental changes, allowing for anticipation

potential problem detected. Depending on the severity of the problem it is
it is possible to decide to design both contingent actions and
preventive measures to act on it.
Conclusion
What is intended is to carry out an analysis on the PDPC Tool,
mainly explaining its definition and function, the philosophy it pursues
and a description that, although it will not have the depth that it could
finding in the specialized works on this subject will entail a
sufficient approximation for its understanding and modes of application. It
they include simple examples with the intention of facilitating understanding of
the same.
Finally, we note that this work aims to expose the concepts,
management tools and techniques related to quality management,
optimization, implementation, control and certification, rigorously and
exhaustive, but with simple language for the reader to understand
