기업에서 TQC를 추진할 경우 그 활동의 일환으로 제일 먼저 실시하는 것이 QCC 활동이다. 그래서 QCC활동이 성공하지 못하면 TQC가 성공하지 못한다는 결론을 미리내고 QCC활동 활성화에 역점을 두어 교육훈련에 지원을 아끼지 않는다. 그러나 국내소개된 TQC 관련자료로서 건설업에 관련된 내용은 전무한 상태이고, 모두가 제조업 위주의 자료로 구성되어 일부건설업에서는 QCC 활동에 배타적인 반응을 보이기도 하였다. 그래서 당사 및 일부회에서는 일본건설업체를 통하여 번역 자료물을 이용한 교재를 자체 제작하여 보급하였다. 그러나 문제는 바로 여기에 있다고 본다. 일본의 경우는 가장 기본적인 QCC 활동의 특징을 업체자체적으로 연구개발하였으나, 우리나라는 기본이념을 망각하고 일본 것을 답습했기 때문에 결과적으로 실패로 끝났다 해도 과언이 아니다. 다시말해서 과정보다는 결과만을 중시하였기 때문이다.
