Disadvantages of Quality Circle
1. Lack of Time: The employees feel that they are also occupied with their daily work and have to work overtime for the quality circle work. But with open communication, the managers can make them understand that by giving some extra time in the beginning, the employees can save money, reduce wastage, and improve quality by adopting this approach.
2. Lack of Ability: Indian workers lack initiative and a high degree of education. People are unwilling to explore new things because they don’t change. They must be educated about the advantages of high-quality circles.
3. Lack of Supervision Commitment: The dedication and support of upper management are essential to any program’s success. Employees will be ready to allocate their time to quality circles if they don’t get top support. However, it’s possible that workers won’t be permitted to have quality circle meetings during business hours. It is therefore impossible for quality circles to function effectively without the commitment and involvement of top management.
4. Limited Scope: Quality Circles works for specific issues in the organisation. This approach can be effective for solving these problems, but it can ignore border problems that require comprehensive solution. Thus the scope of quality circle is limited.
5. Limited Management Support: The implementation of a quality circle requires continuous support and commitment from the management. But if there is limited support, then members have to face challenges in conquering barriers, obtaining resources, and improving employee engagement in the long term.
