IMPROVEMENT TOOLBOX DESIGN FOR EFQM CRITERIA
Journal Title: International Journal for Quality Research - Year 2012, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
The EFQM Excellence Model is a framework that helps organizations to achieve competitive advantage by measuring where they are on their path to excellence. However, it does not tell the organization what to do or how it should manage any of these areas. In this study, we suggest a structure to overcome this gap. We present a method, matrix reflections, to find a tool set that can be used for designing improvement approaches in order to reach desired results.
