Purpose
To implement the plan and take massive action
Outcome
Once this step is completed, you will have implemented the steps in the plan and collected information about any modifications that were required to the plan once it was put into practice. Everyone will have been kept informed about actual progress, and, if any slippage occurred, the counter measures put in place.

At the end of this step, your commitment to improve will be interpreted into a set of integrated improvement activities, each described by a Scope Statement.
