NATURE OF QUALITY CIRCLES
The generally regarded ideal size of a Q.C. is around ten members.
As every member of the Circle is expected to actively participate in
the Q.C. meetings, a large number is not good. Too small a number
of members would tend to make the circle dormant.
Ideally members of a particular Circle should be from the
same work-area or who do similar work, so that the problems they
discuss will be familiar to all of them.

CON.
An organization may have a number of Q.Cs. If the number
of workers of any particular department/section who
volunteer to join the Q.C. is more than the ideal number
that one Q.C. can accommodate, two or more circles may
be formed in the same area. Thus, an organization could
have one or more Q.C. in every department or section.
There are organizations where all the workers have becomemembers of Q.Cs.
