Gartography Department Given Nod AyrtL Hsntrr TlrsltFor 0uality Gircle Pilot Proiect

by David L. BlackLast issue, we discussed the

overall concept and historY of thequality circle movement in foreginand American industrY. \{elearned that the idea is certainlYnot new but its accePtance in theAmerican industrial comPlex hasbeen, to say the least, slow incoming. But recent events in boththe private and public sectors ofthe economy have caused themovement to accelerate. More andmore organizations are turning tothe quality circle concePt as a

means to improve ProductivitY,morale, technologY, qualitY-inshort, the entire work atmosPhere.

The Aerospace Center, longrecognized as a leader in govern-ment mapping, is one of theorganizations exPloring the aPplication of qualitY circles. Inestablishing an interim steeringgroup and identifYing theAerospace CartograPhY DePart-ment as the pilot Project area, thedirector stated the intended Pur-pose of the AerosPace Center Pilotproject is " . to increase thequality of our products, increaseproductivity and to imProvecommunication betweenmanagement (at all levels) and theemployees." Colonel Burns wenton to say, "It is reasonable toassume that those Persons doing ajob are the ones most aware of theproblems that exist in their workarea and that many of theseproblems are unresolved'due tobreaks in communications. QualityCircles can provide an excellentcommunications link bY givingemployees an oPPortunitY andmeans to identifY work-relatedproblems and to recommendcorrective solutions."

T\po nilot clrcles. a facilitator

and steering committee, wereauthorized for the Center. Bothcircles will be in the AerosPaceCartography department, whichoffers both digital and con-ventional chart productionprograms. The facilitator selectedis John "Jay" Harden of CDT. Thesteering committee will be chairedby the Center technical directorwith the chief of the QualitYAssurance Office serving asexecutive secretary. Membersinclude: Comptroller, director ofCivilian Personnel, assistantdeputy director for Plans andRequirements, deputY director forProgram, Production andOperations, chief AerosPaceCartography Department and thefacilitator. The steering committeeis responsible for determiningprogram objectives, establishingboundaries and confining subjectsthat can or cannot be addressed bY

the circles. This initial steeringcommittee will serve onlY for thepilot project.

The two pilot circles are to beestablished in the ATM/Nav PlanCharting Division (CDA) and theCartographic Data Division (CDC)

of the Aerospace CartograPhYDepartment. There will be onecircle in each division composed ofcartographers only. "The PilotQuality Circle effort was restrictedin scope for reasons of economy,"said Rogers Robinson, acting chiefof the department. "This decisionwas not intended to damPen theconsiderable interest and en-thusiasm already exhibited bYprofessional and bargaining unitemployees of the other Divisions,but to delay broader imPlementa-tion until such time as tlte Piloteffort proves its viability andvalue. A cradual development of

the Quality Circle concept assuresa greater chance of Permanentsuccess at AC."

Volunteers are now being soughtby the department for training inthe CD Quality Circle PilotProject. From the volunteers, a

class of from 18 to 20 individualswill be formed. Selection will bechosen along organizational linesto assure broad base composition.Individuals selected for thetraining are under no obligation toparticipate in a quality circle laterif they do not desire to do so.

The training, which will be heldfrom June 2-5, will consist of sevenblocks of study in a 12 hour course.The seven areas identified byHarden include: (1) an in-troduction to quality circle conceptQ) Aerospace CartograPhydepartment quality program (3)

communications, creativitY,leadership, group processes (4)

analytical problem solving anddecision analysis (5) statisticaltechniques (6) managementpresentations (7) meeting ef-fectiveness.

"So far interest in the qualitycircle project has been very g@d,"stated Harden. "There are a lot ofquestions yet to be answered butwe are confident that the'pilotproject will provide those answersand perhaps even raise andansweradditional questions to the benefitof all of us. After all," he added,"quality circles aren't justbeneficial to management oremployees, they're beneficial toboth. The quality circle project is a"we" project and only that waycan it succeed. "

Next issue we will take a look athow a quality circle will operate atthe Aerospace Center. The who,what and why of circling.
