vendor.
  • Constantly improve every process for planning, production, and service.
  • Institute training on the job.
  • Adopt and institute leadership.
  • Drive out fear.
  • Break down barriers between staff areas.
  • Eliminate slogans, exhortations, and targets for the work force.
  • Eliminate numerical quotas and goals for the workforce and management.
  • Remove barriers that rob people of pride in workmanship and eliminate the annual rating or
merit system.
  • Institute a vigorous program of education and self-improvement for everyone.
  • Put everyone in the organization to work to accomplish the transformation.
