An improved TOPSIS/EFQM methodology for evaluating the performance of organizations
Studies showed that the scoring system of the EFQM has got some problems that can cause a deviation from the correct assess performance of organization. One of the reasons of this deviation could be due to the scoring approach of EFQM questionnaire. This study is to investigate relationship of each...

Studies showed that the scoring system of the EFQM has got some problems that can cause a deviation from the correct assess performance of organization. One of the reasons of this deviation could be due to the scoring approach of EFQM questionnaire. This study is to investigate relationship of each question of the questionnaire with TQM criteria and give a practical way to overcome the existing problem. In this study, with 50 questions of the EFQM and criteria of TQM, a questionnaire has been created. Then, opinions of 175 assessors dealing with EFQM are gathered about the relationship between the questions of EFQM with any of TQM criteria. The data have been processed using SPSS software and the nearest point of a fuzzy number and Topsis model.

According to the findings of this study, one should consider the EFQM assessors’ point of view regarding the relationship between criteria of the two models in order to improve
organization performance assessments. Finally, considering the level of priority in Topsis method, a relevant scoring
