Staff Reporter :
The 26th National Quality Conference (NAQC) was held in Dhaka. The day-long conference was organized by Bangladesh Society for Total Quality Management (BSTQM) on Monday at BRICM Auditorium at Science Lab in the capital.
Prof Dr Noriaki Kano, the world-renowned Total Quality Management (TQM) expert, was present as chief guest while Eng. ASM Yusuf presided over the event.
The conference has been considered the largest in the country in terms of quality as 76 QC circle teams from various firms of the industrial and service sectors presented QC stories to improve their workplace.
Dr Kano pointed out that the main purpose of the QC Circle activities is to develop the capacity of members and to encourage them to improve, which makes the workplace more enjoyable, important and satisfying.
BSTQM Advisor and TQM expert AMM Khairul Basar said, “In order to move the economic trend forward, the talent of all the employees should be properly and fully utilized. In that case, proper practice and promotion of QC circle and TQM will play a big role.”
The QC circle is one of the components of TQM through which an organization identifies and solves its own problems by empowering and involving employees.
This not only ensures mutual benefits for both the employees and the organization but also ensures leadership development of the ground level employees.
