Quiz time
Launching Quality Circle Launching of quality circle step • Expose middle level executives to the concept. • Explain the concept to the employees & invite them to volunteer as members of Quality Circle. • Nominate senior officers as facilitators. • Form a steering committee.
Arrange training of coordinators, facilitators in basics of quality circle approach, implementation techniques & operation. Later facilitator may provide training to circle leaders & circle members. A meeting should be fixed preferably one hour a week for the quality circle to meet. Formally inaugurate the quality circle. Arrange the necessary facilities for
Training Appropriate training- need to be imported
Such training comprises of: Brief orientation program for top management. Program for middle level executives Training of facilitators Training for circle leaders and members
Process of operation Problem identification Identify a number of problems Problems Analysis Clarified and analyzed
Generate alternative solutions Identify and evaluate causes and generate number of possible alternative solutions.
Select most appropriate solution Identify & clarify causes Generate possible alternative solution
Prepare plan for action Convert solution to reality
Present solution to management
Fore approval
Implementation of solution Evaluated recommended solution
Success is a journey
How to use the concept
3 main part Identifying Free to brainstorm – no bad ideas List & analyzed each problem Analyzing Focus on one problem Create an appropriate solution Involves opinion from member and researcher Analysis : Prepare to solve the problem Explain in; How it works What solution result should be
solving Basic seven QC tools Analyze data & present result Check sheets, pareto chart, ishikawa diagram, flow diagram, histogram, scatter plot, control chart
Pareto chart Determine priority for quality improvement activities Provide tool for visualizing the pareto principle Determine which problem should be solve first Provide a before-and-after before-and-after comparison

Ishikawa Diagram Referred to as cause-and effective diagram, tree diagram, or fishbone diagram
Display the factor that effect a particular quality characteristic, outcome or problem.
Typically result of a brainstorming
The main goal represented by the trunk of the diagram, and primary factor represented as branches.

Applicability in Government Applicability Organizations; The concept of QC was launched in the Public Works Department of Govt. of Maharashtra on 18.11.1997,
Some problem solved are; Eliminating delay in issuing observation memos after insepection of site. preventing accidents on highways, reducing electricity bill in office,
avoiding duplication of work, removal of encroachment from Govt.land, speeding up pot-hole filling on roads during monsoon, Upkeeping of service records of employees, maintaining Govt. offices clean, stream-lining reservation system of Govt. rest house, improvement in maintenance of Govt. rest house.
Some of Problems and the solution by QC in P.W.D of Maharastra; i)
Delay in issue of observation Memos; - Divide Divided d into into 6 regi regions ons whic which h headed headed by Chief Engineer and assisted by a Superintending Engineer, Vigilance & QC, - used various tools and methodology, identified root causes problem then solved with requisite foolproofing.
- Benefit employees by providing. - a systematic education. - freedom to modify their work habits. - opportunity to use their brain for
development of Department. - opportunity to work as team. Also, motivate to improve work culture, self improvement recognition and creativity in work.
i.
Preventing Accidents on Highway -Circles members collect data from police station to select causes of accident by using the Pareto Chart. -And segregated the causes under Man, Machine, Material & Method. -They found out the solutions and the problems such as closing of central verge at all locations except junction, frequent lane marking, installation of Caution boards, providing lay-byes for buses and etc.
