Quality circles can be referred to certain groups of employees who are working together in an operation to come forward and share their views on issues related to quality and recommend improvements. These groups of people are committed to a broader goal of achieving improved quality, efficiency, and productivity.  Led by a supervisor, the quality circle aims to encourage workers to participate in formal problem-solving methods which can be a brain-storming session, Pareto analysis, or cause-and-effect diagrams to discuss problems of quality in the existing process and suggest the best possible solutions to address the pressing concerns.
