Abstract:

Companies in many countries have tried or are trying quality control circles as a major part of their productivity improvement programs. A quality control circle uses the experience and suggestions of craftspersons to solve problems or upgrade operations. Isolating problems is the major task. The method works best in a bottom up rather than a top down type of management organization.
