El Ciclo de Deming y la planificación en las Instituciones de Educación Superior de Nicaragua

This essay consists of the modeling of the Deming cycle or model in the planning of actions linked to the key processes of training (teaching), research, linkage or extension and institutional management in the Higher Education Institutions (HEI) of Nicaragua. This models each phase of the Deming model or cycle known by its acronym PDCA (Plan, Do, Check and Act). Documentary research was carried out at the regional and national level on institutional planning and the importance of the Deming cycle in quality management from the perspective of different authors. Likewise, each phase of the Deming cycle was linked to the actions derived from the key and strategic processes carried out in universities. The study concludes that, in the planning carried out by university institutions, the phases of the Deming model or cycle are applied, this is complemented with the regulatory documents issued by the National Council of Universities (CNU) of Nicaragua. Likewise, it was found that the planned activities in each of the key and strategic institutional processes are supported by a system of administration, management and risk mitigation, through documents issued by the Comptroller General of the Republic (CGR) of Nicaragua, which gives consistency and solidity to the planning carried out by universities.
