What does the "Do" stage involve?

• A. Implementation of the processes
• B. Conducting management reviews
• C. Setting new objectives
• D. Auditing suppliers

Answer: (A)

During the Do stage, the focus is on putting the plan into action by implementing the processes as designed. This means carrying out the planned activities, allocating resources, training people, and running operations to meet the plan’s specifications. It’s the execution phase where you operate the system and collect real-world data to see how the processes perform. The other items belong to other parts of the cycle: management reviews assess overall performance, setting new objectives happens in planning, and auditing suppliers fits with verification/Check activities rather than day-to-day execution. In short, Do is all about carrying out and operating the approved processes.
