A small group of employees meets regularly to explore ways to improve the quality and quantity of production, as well as working conditions within the company. These meetings are an effective way to foster internal communication. This practice was officially introduced by Kaoru Ishikawa in Japan in 1962. Today, they are more commonly known as progress circles or study circles. For more information, you can contact the Quality Club – EMC, located at 6 rue Clément-Marot in Paris, at +33 1 40 70 13 17.
