More on Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award
Description from Wikipedia:
The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award is given by the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology. Through the actions of the National Productivity Advisory Committee chaired by Jack Grayson, it was established by the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Improvement Act of 1987 - Public Law 100-107 and named for Malcolm Baldrige, who served as United States Secretary of Commerce during the Reagan administration from 1981 until his 1987 death in a rodeo accident. APQC, , organized the first White House Conference on Productivity, spearheading the creation and design of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award in 1987, and jointly administering the award for its first three years. The program recognizes quality service in the business, health care, education, and nonprofit sectors and was inspired by the ideas of Total Quality Management or TQM. This is the only quality award that is actually awarded by the President of the United States. This award and the Ron Brown Award are the two U.S. presidential awards given to corporations.
The original stated purposes of the award were to:
* promote quality awareness
* recognize quality achievements of the US companies
* publicize successful quality strategies
The current award criteria are stated to have three important roles in strengthening US competitiveness:
* To help improve organizational performance practices, capabilities and results
* To facilitate communication and sharing of the best practice information among US organizations of all types
* To serve as a working tool for understanding and managing performance and for guiding planning and opportunities for learning
The seven categories of the criteria are:
# Leadership
# Strategic Planning
# Customer & Market Focus
# Measurement, Analysis and Knowledge Management
