The P-I-V-S Model

The P-I-V-S model (Plan-Implement-Verify-Standardize) is based upon the Plan-Do-Check-Act model popularized by Dr. W. Edwards Deming. 

P-I-V-S ensures that the services QI provides meet your needs and result in permanent improvement.

Plan

The objective of the plan phase is to identify your specific needs and to create a plan that ensures that your needs are met. These needs may range from a full-scale implementation, such as pursuing ISO 9000 registration, to simply adding a key element to an existing quality system. Some of the activities that might occur as a part of the plan phase, depending upon your specific needs, include:

Implement

The objective of the implement phase is to execute the plan developed in the plan phase. The quality control plan ensures that if problems or issues arise, corrective action is implemented promptly. Some of the activities that might occur as a part of the implement phase, depending upon your specific needs, include:

Verify

The objective of the verify phase is to ensure that the goals of the project, defined in the plan phase, have been met. As a part of the plan phase, specific measures, or metrics, are developed. The verify phase involves collecting data on those metrics and comparing them to the project goals. Some of the activities that might occur as a part of the verify phase, depending upon your specific needs, include:

Standardize

The objective of the standardize phase is to ensure that the improvements we have developed become a permanent way of life. After working so hard to improve systems and processes, we do not want to run the risk of reverting back to the previous unsatisfactory performance. Some of the activities that might occur as a part of the standardize phase, depending upon your specific needs, include:
