What is Quality Circle?
The technique in which a group of employees use participant management to identify and solve problems with the performance or quality of a product is known as Quality Circle. In this, small teams of employees meet to discuss, evaluate, and solve problems related to quality in an organisation. It is an essential component of enterprise management, in which small groups of six to twelve people volunteer to improve the employee’s quality of work life while simultaneously increasing productivity, quality, and overall organisational performance. Using this technique, the employees can work with complete dedication and commitment by reducing mental tension, and the rate of rejection, rework, and solving work-related challenges.
Key Takeaways:
- All the members of the quality circle must come from the same work area so that they are all familiar with the issues they identify to ensure effective involvement in the group.
- It must be remembered that the number of members shouldn’t be so large that none of them can participate or have enough opportunities to do so.
- The quality circle also motivates employees to develop innovative ideas to solve problems.
- The quality circle promotes teamwork and cooperative working environments.
