(true?) History of Quality Circles

I have heard it said that 'Quality Circles' is based upon ideas discussed in US academia (Ohio State U?) in the (pre-war) 1930s, but never adopted industrially in the USA. After WWII, advisers, like Deming brought quality management and production techniques to Japan to help with rebuilding industry there. Can anyone corroborate or correct these 'rumours' definitively?

It's sais in the article on Deming that he prestented his idées ti JUSE in the 50's and started touring Japan afterwards. It's difficult to understand that the idée of quality circle so related to these idéas has noting to do with it "Contrary to some people's opinion this movement had nothing whatever to do with [Dr. Edwards_Deming] or indeed Dr Juran and both were skeptical as to whether it could be made to work in the USA or the West generally". Even if I would understand that not every good ideas comes from a white male américan, some does. Can someone source these affirmation that it doesn't?

(Charles Pritchard) -- The Students’ Quality Circles section seems to have gone off the rails, in terms of credibility. I think it needs its own wikipedia page for digestion. I'm fine with it being a new school: I think it ought to be linked to from this article. It just appears to be under-developed. At least we can go from here: http://www.dineshchapagain.com.np/admin/files/fa274d1e5348cbdaedb7ff8c47a41c92.pdf to here http://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1071006.pdf to take in a fifteen year-span of PDF publication. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.209.95.237 (talk) 09:01, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
