Quality circle v/s Quality Control
1) Quality circle
A group of individuals with related interests that meet at regular intervals to consider problems or other matters related to the quality of outputs of a process and to the correction of problems or to the improvement of quality. QUALITY CIRCLES is a term used in human resources management that refers to the technique of motivating workers by allowing them input into decisions concerning the production process, thereby increasing productivity and profits.
The underlying premise is that productivity will increase for two reasons: because the person best able to decide the most efficient way to do a job is the person who does it for a living and because employees who have greater control over the product will be more committed and effective workers. In Japanese firms there is a greater focus on statistical quality control, employees meet on own time and discuss on their own issues and identify solutions on the issues.
In Japan it is also called as Quality Control Circle (QCC). To enhance the effectiveness of Quality Circle, one middle management person should act as a facilitator for each Quality Circle. It is a great tool to motivate and empower employees at shop floor.
2) Quality control
The operational techniques and the activities used to fulfill and verify requirements of quality.
