A quality circle is a small group of between three and 12 people who do the same or similar work, voluntarily meeting together regularly for about one hour per week in paid time, usually under the leadership of their own supervisor, and trained to identify, analyze and solve some of the problems in their work, presenting solutions to management and, where possible, implementing solutions themselves.
TWO MAIN TASKS ASSIGNED TO QUALITY CIRCLES:
1. The identification of problems; and the suggestion of solutions.
2. Boost the morale of the group through attendance at the meetings and the formal opportunity to discuss work-related issues.
