Workers know where to find the problems and the solutions. Teams of employees can improve processes to solve problems. W. Edwards Deming

8. Employee Involvement All employees, no matter what they do or where they work, have ideas about how to do their work more productively. Employees represent a source of knowledge and creativity which we often fail to utilize. The people closest to the problems often have the best ideas on how to make improvements.
