| Summary: | This paper summarises the development methodology that uses the assessment criteria of two national
quality awards namely, the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award and Deming Prize as a basis for
creating a self-assessment tool to measure quality performance in an organization. Self-assessment is an
important tool in any organization since it can be utilized anytime and by anybody in the organization to
evaluate past and existing performance and as a guide for future continuous improvement. Too much
reliance on a third party assessment is time consuming and expensive. This assessment tool could be used
for evaluating quality efforts for both local or multinational companies based on Malaysian working culture
to strive for a world class quality. "Thinking Globally, Acting Locally" is adopted as one of the most
important ingredients to enable the Malaysian companies especially Small, Medium Industries (SME's), as
main players in the global arena. |
