SECTION-C
15. Study the case given below and answer the questions that follow :
The concept of Quality Circles which originated in the United States and actually
proliferated in Japan is of recent origin in India. In India, by now several companies have
implemented QC programs. Companies where the QC programs have been working
successfully include BHEL, Kirloskar Oil Engines, Mahindra & Mahindra, Bajaj Auto
etc. Though QC concept has many positive points, it has failed miserably in many
organizations due to certain problems and pitfalls.
M/s Global Manufacturers Ltd was one such company. Following are some important
problems of M/s Global Manufacturers Ltd efforts and their successive failure in the
implementation of Quality Circles.
Both employees and managers had a negative attitude toward QC and often resisted its
implementation. Managers felt that QC dilutes their authority and importance in the
organization. Also, the employees were characterized by their low level of education and
also lack of leadership qualities. Lack of management commitment toward QC was
demonstrated by not permitting the members to hold QC meetings during the working
hours. The members of the QC felt disheartened when their suggestions were not
accepted and implemented by the management without giving convincing reasons for not
doing so.
a) What major problems can you identify that have posed as a major hindrance in the
successful implementation of Quality Circles at M/s Global Manufacturers Ltd?
b) How can the negative attitude of employees towards QC be dispelled?
c) What steps / measures do you propose so that the employees of M/s Global
Manufacturers Ltd embrace QC and as a result, further enthuse, the members of QC
to improve quality of their goods and services?
NOTE : Disclosure of Identity by writing Mobile No. or Making of passing request on any
page of Answer Sheet will lead to UMC against the Student.
