Quality Circles

            Quality Circles or Quality Teams, as they are also known, may be defined as group of people brought together to solve a problem. Usually the group is between 3-15 members. Larger groups tend to get bogged down in discussion and often get sidetracked. There is no leader or management person amongst the group, hence the term Quality Circles. A circle has no end point. Each point on the circle is equal. A Quality Circle has the similar characteristic that each member of the team shares equally in the decision-making and responsibilities. However, a leader may emerge in helping facilitate the group towards its goal. Quality Circles can be used to improve a product or process. In some cases, management defines the problem ahead of time. However, in other cases management empowers the employees to identify and resolve problems that are identified by the group itself. There are reasons why both methods are useful. With management issuing directives, problems are more appropriate to be in alignment with the strategic direction of the corporation. This process may be known as Project Teams. A company may be surprised at how effective and valuable the Quality Team is. This is especially true in companies that empower their employees to develop their own problems and then provide solutions to them. This can be dangerous if not done correctly. A structured Quality Program should provide some sort of mechanism for feedback between the Quality Team and Management. .
