Abstract
Reports a case study in using a team approach to improve the quality, cycle time and yield of integrated circuits assembled in Hong Kong. Ford’s eight‐disciplines (8‐D) process is the methodology used, and significant improvements are acheived with it. Within the framework of the 8‐D process, the work involves using simple quality tools to analyse and correct production problems. Demonstrates that a tightly‐focused approach, which follows well‐documented and methodical procedures using simple tools and techniques, can bring considerable benefits within a short time.

Abstract
This paper uses a probit model to analyse 100 observations in terms of three hypotheses about the formation of owners’ corporations in high‐density private housing estates in Hong Kong within the context of Mancur Olson’s group theory. The findings do not reject the theory, revealing that it is more likely for an older urban estate with fewer owners to form owners’ corporations. The discussion includes a brief introduction to Olson’s group theory and the development of the probit analysis. Some speculative thoughts about public participation in local level urban management and planning are offered in the conclusion.
