“Create Quality Circles – A quality circle is an alternative or a parallel structure to the traditional method of organizing the division of labor. Japanese companies heavily emphasize the constant increase of labor responsibilities. This leads not only to the personal development of workers themselves, but also to greater efficiency and collaboration, as workers trade off responsibilities and learn from one another. The quality circle consists of a volunteer group of workers who are trained – in addition to their normal duties – to analyze and find solutions to work-related problems and then present them to management for approval.”
