| Summary: | Purpose– The aim of this work is to present a concise analysis of Quality control circles (QCC's) disuse
in the Mexican Industry.
Design/methodology/approach – A comparative descriptive analysis was carried out on the year of 2000
and 2015, considering a sample of Mexican Industries that implemented the quality control circles, which
belong to the Mexican Association of Work in Team A.C. (AMTE). First, in the methodology was
realized a classification of the sample studied, later it was divided into two stages: 1) Quantitative
variables and 2) Qualitative variables.
Findings – Two important factors can be considered to explain the QCC's disuse. (1) The different
cultural context. (2) The new and better methodologies currently recommended for the solution of
opportunity areas in Mexican Industry. Finally, the few Mexican Industries that uses Quality Control
Circles suggest consider a high percentage of employees to guarantee adequate results.

due to a different cultural context. A second possibility could be to better methodologies are currently
recommended for the solution of areas of opportunity. However, the fact that, apart from the automotive
sector and its derivative components, the participation of another industries turnaround has been
drastically reduced to almost disappear, as well as for the service companies. |
