"5. Improve constantly and forever the system of production and service, to 
improve quality and productivity, and thus
constantly decrease costs.
 
For Educators:
 
*Much of the activity in school systems represents rework, remedial 
activities, and wasted effort, and tasks which
contribute nothing to the educational purpose.  We will improve quality and 
productivity by finding ways to eliminate this
work that adds no value.
*In American schools, we are better at change than we are at improvement.  
And we are better at replacing what we have
than we are at improving it.  We would realize enormous savings if our 
changes were all improvements.
*Improvement requires careful study and an intimate awareness of the 
educational process.  Change is easy. 
Improvement is hard work.
*The methods and strategies of improvement must be mastered throughout the 
school system and the school system and
applied continuously.  Improvement involves everyone, and it never ends."
