Quality Circles

Abstract

Managers at all level are faced with a dual challenge to improve productivity and to provide workers with opportunities for more meaningful involvement in their jobs. The solution lies in developing structures and processes that improve both productivity and the quality of work life. One method used to overcome declines in both productivity and product quality by means of employee involvement is the Quality Control Circle program. This study will suggest applications of Quality Circles in the Army and Department of Defense.
