The Importance of Feedback in the Applicability of the PDCA Cycle

Abstract

The final disposal of urban solid waste is a growing global concern. This study explores the application of the PDCA cycle as a continuous improvement tool in solid waste management at the Fametro University Center, Units 1 and 2, in Manaus, Amazonas. The research analyzes students' perception of selective waste collection and proposes a project to improve the waste management process. The results obtained through questionnaires demonstrate the need for environmental awareness and the integration of recycling into academic routines, highlighting the importance of structured planning to minimize environmental impacts.
