Nowadays, quality award models, such as the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA) and EFQM Excellence Model, are used as a guide to improvement by a large number of organizations. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the extent to which the EFQM Excellence Model captures the main assumptions involved in the Iranian organizations. It will be Rearrenging criteria of the EFQM Excellence Model, and it applies in the Iranian Rubber industries. We find that: (a) social and technical dimension is embedded in the model; (b) both dimensions are intercorrelated; (c) they jointly enhance results. These findings support the EFQM Excellence Model as operational framework iraninan organizations, and also reinforce the results obtained in previous studies for the MBNQA. It verifies and validates with a case study in the Iranian Rubber industries. |
