Comments on: Handbook for TQM & QC Circles http://a3thinking.com/blog/?p=31 Mon, 12 Jul 2010 06:22:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: admin http://a3thinking.com/blog/?p=31&cpage=1#comment-141 admin Sat, 13 Jun 2009 01:52:27 +0000 http://a3thinking.com/blog/?p=31#comment-141 I don't know exactly how many are operating in Japan or Toyota currently. When I worked there roughly the QC handbook quoted a figure of 6,000 circles. The information above cites a figure of 4,800 circles in 2001. Each circle handles about 4 topics per year. Overall there are 70,00 employees in Japan for Toyota. Toyota has a TQC promotion office...I don't have a contact there but they would know the answer if you contact them. For all of Japan you'd have to try some organization such as JUSE or a national organization like it. <a href="http://www.juse.or.jp/e/" rel="nofollow">http://www.juse.or.jp/e/</a>. The JUSE site lists 29,527 QC Circles registered to the headquarters in JUSE for all over Japan in 2008.You might try e-mailing them for more details.
