It will have separate Team Excellence competitions on the same days.

There will be presentations of Quality Circles (QC), Continuous Improvement Teams (CIT), Cross Functional Teams (CFT) and other forms of teams, Quality Circles at non-executive level in manufacturing and service industries and Quality and Continuous Improvement, other teams in manufacturing and service industries.

Quality Circles (QC) are volunteer teams from organisations which are guided bya scientific techniques such as cause and effect diagrams, Pareto charts and formulate solutions.

Originating in Japan in 1960s, the concept of Quality Circles is widespread in many parts of the world and is said to improve worker morale in addition to solving problems related to quality, productivity, customer service and safety. QC and CIT follow the philosophy that the talents of every employee should be tapped and that there is a lot of creativity at every level that can be made use of.

Continuous Improvement Teams (CIT) and Cross Functional Teams (CFT) follow the same methodology but consist of executive level employees and event managers.

Companies could also submit quality and productivity slogans, posters and Kaizen projects for the competition. There will also be events for schools which include debates, quiz programs and quality circle presentations.
