A quality circle, huh? I'm more of a 'quantity rectangle' kind of guy, if you know what I mean. Goes well with my 'quantity initiative'!

Quality circle for sure! Though I have to say, I'm more of a 'quantity' kind of guy myself. Bigger is better, am I right?

Actually, quality circles are different from quality initiatives. Quality circles focus on small changes made by workers, while quality initiatives are broader improvement projects led by management.
