Re: [req] Quality Control Circle

A brief from Wikipedia: A Quality Circle is a volunteer group composed of workers, or even a group of students nowadays, who meet together to discuss workplace improvement, and make presentations to management with their ideas, especially relating to quality of output. Typical topics are improving safety, improving product design, and improvement in manufacturing process. This can not only improve the performance of any organisation, but also motivate and enrich the work life of employees. The ideal size of a quality circle is from 8 to 10 members.

Quality circles have the advantage of continuity, the circle remains intact from project to project. (For a comparison to Quality Improvement Teams see Juran's Quality by Design.

Quality Circles were started in Japan in 1962 (Kaoru Ishikawa has been credited for creating Quality Circles) as another method of improving quality. The movement in Japan was coordinated by the Japanese Union of Scientists and Engineers (JUSE). Prof. Ishikawa, who believed in tapping the creative potential of workers, innovated the Quality Circle movement to give Japanese industry that extra creative edge.

The use of Quality Circles has spread beyond Japan, in particular to Scandinavian countries. Quality circles are implemented even in educational sectors in India and QCFI (Quality Circle Forum of India) is promoting such activities.

There are different quality circle tools, namely:

* The Ishikawa diagram - which shows hierarchies of causes contributing to a problem
* The Pareto Chart - which analyses different causes by frequency to illustrate the vital cause
* The PDCA-Deming wheel - Plan, Do, Check, Act, as described by W. Edwards Deming

The concept of a quality circle is very common these days where you have persons not directly involved in the process as they will have a fresh view on the problem.

The other version of the is a cross functional team. I personally think the circle is dead because some will see it as an oportunity to have a good moan and kill the circle off. Have a look at imporvment teams and some of 6 sigma DMIAC groups.

I worked for a multination automotive supplier. Each site around the world held internal QCC competitions (using the tools stated previously). It was a good chance to get a lot of different people working on solving problems.

There were 3 rewards given region. The 3rd place was flown to another state to visit the facilities, and have a bit of R&R, the 2nd place was flown overseas to another affiliate. The 1st place was flow to Japan to view/present at the QCC competition finals.

As you may or may not have noticed - the word "control" is usually not part of the description of a Quality Circle.

My experience was that Quality Circles were almost always comprised of a cross section of skills and functions within an organization. The best ones were not tasked or structured with specific processes like a Material Review Board, but were more "free form" in being able to focus on anything and everything that struck their fancy, with the ultimate goal being the benefit of the organization..

A close approximation of the concept as practiced in the best places would be very similar to Andrew Carnegie's Group Mind (a brief description can be found here http://web.archive.org/web/20080602...network.com/utility/showArticle/?objectID=375)

The link quoted is dead. If anybody is interested in 'shared vision' ala Peter Senge's Fifth Discipline, here are a few links:
