IE-90-7  aA thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Engineering, School of Engineering and Technology  aThesis (M.Eng.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 1990  aThis thesis uses a systems framework to understand the performance of Quality Control Circles  (Q.C.C.). A system dynamics model is constructed integrating the Q.C.C. with the production  process; the previous studies have examined each system separately. The study partly based on the  previous studies and the data from the real case of Thailand Steel Plant 1 {u2022} It incorporates some of  the important factors interfacing each sector into a complete model. Interpretation of the model  builds in a cumulative fashion, from computer simulation and testing of individual sectors, an  understanding of the performance of Q.C.C .. Sensitivity analysis and policy analysis of Q.C.C. is  included in the experimental design. Those the sensitive and insensitive policies of Q.C.C. are  studied. However, the model on basis for simulating the impact of various strategic policy decisions  on the company preference. The model also guides the management in designing policies related  to the implementation of Q.C.~. program. Important parameters that show the performance of  Q.C.C. are also identified. It is expected that the model of this study will provide the understanding  of the interaction between the Q.C.C. and the production process.10aQuality circles1 aSaeed, Khalid, eChairperson1 aFujiwara, Okitsugu, eExamination Committee1 aNagarur, Nagendra N.,eExamination Committee2 aBelgium Government, eScholasrhip Donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
