Process management, 6. Customer focus and satisfaction, 7. Business results. The Award also involves evaluation of companies according to three main factors: 1.

How is this approach put into practice in the organization, what resources are being brought to bear, and how widespread is this action throughout the organization? 3. What evidence is there to demonstrate that improvements are really taking place?The ultimate business dictionary > Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award

12 business process reengineering
Gen Mgt, Opsthe initiation and control of the change of processes within an organization, in order to derive competitive advantage from improvement in the quality of products. Business process reengineering was popularized by Michael Hammer. It requires a review and imaginative analysis of the processes currently used by the organization. BPR, therefore, has similarities to benchmarking, as this review of processes can reveal critical points where significant improvements in quality can be made. Business process reengineering was at the height of its popularity in the early to mid-1990s. It has been criticized as one of the root causes of the bouts of downsizing and delayering that have affected many parts of industry. It has also received a negative press because few BPR projects have delivered the benefits expected of them.Abbr. BPRThe ultimate business dictionary > business process reengineering
