Quality Circle: A stitch in Time
Two atom bombs dropped on Japan during 1945, converted the thriving, industrial empire of Japan to dust and smoke, with millions killed or maimed. Everyone thought it would be centuries before Japan re-captures its pristine glory, but Japan rose like a phoenix from ashes to become the leading nation of the world within a short span of time.
The power behind this miracle was fierce will, determination and commitment of Japanese people and their quest for quality. They adopted Quality Circles as ways of building attitudes to surmount problems, improve quality and to be competitive.
