Abstract: Methods which may be used to motivate people (workers and managers) to produce and achieve higher levels of excellence and obtain job satisfaction through participation in quality circles are presented. Assessment of organization's readiness for a quality circle program, identification of objectives, techniques for problem solving, and ways to maintain momentum in quality circle building are explained in detail.

The book documents the evolution of the quality circle methodology and philosophy and may be used as a handbook for people and organizations interested in quality circles. (kbc).

This book explains what Students' Quality Circles (SQC) are, how they function, key constraints and issues in implementation, and possible solutions to make it a valuable co-curricular activity.

The logical sequence of presentation of the book is ‘why,’ ‘what,’ and toward the end, ‘how’ SQC in education. The book satisfies four hierarchical levels of readers. The first level is o...
This report examines the practical issues that police departments face when considering the adoption, design, and implementation of "quality circle" programs, in which small groups of employees, primarily nonmanagement personnel from the same work unit, meet regularly to identify, analyze, and recommend solutions to problems confronting their work unit.

The study resulted in indications of the likely outcomes of police...

There are many standards, methods and perhaps most confusing, but most importantly of all acronyms in use in the field of quality management, and especially so in the field of technology-based products. From the seemingly simple concepts of ISO 9000 (and the military MIL standards from which that grew) to statistical and analytical methods like Statistical Process Control (SPC) the range of complexity and compliance is staggering. What the average quality engineer or manager needs is a simple guide to what these are, how they relate to one another and most critically how to take advantage of and implement the benefits of each. This book provides that guidance. Written by a quality consultant...
