Hey all,
I am not sure it is suitable for making a post for this topic, also not sure if I could get any reply on it. I know most of you are from Northern American, but I still would like to see if anyone here could provide some inputs.
Thanks
Jaco

I had a training on EFQM a couple of years ago. From a management system point of view it is very structured and if you would compare the model against todays ISO9000 for example you will start seeing similarities opposite to the old 1994 standard. Implementing EFQM however, is not a piece of cake. although you cannot get certified to EFQM, there are several companies that have implemented it as far as i am aware of but i would assume that this has more to do with prestige than actually having a top notch management system in place.

Alchemists,
Thanks for your insight, but i would like to say maybe I can not afford the charge, because it is only my personal interest.

Jaco,
The EFQM and its associated Business Excellence Model was created to help European Union enterprises evolve - unlike the MBNQA in the US which is the product of a large best practices think tank - The Federal Quality Institute, The EFQm was originally created by EU Industrial Leaders. This difference can be seen in the 'weighting factors' given to each of the 9 areas of the EFQM Model.
The EFQM devotes considerable attention to he development of an enterprise's Social Sytems, in the form of Employee Growth and Develoment, Parnerships, Recognition and Reward and Coching / Mentoring. In this regard, the EFQM in my mind is more valuable to an enterprise's evolution than the MBNQA, the Shingo Prize or the Deming Prize.
I'm not sure what you are looking for WRT the EFQM, please let me know what I can do to help .

Hi Alchemists,
I am glad to have your kindly response and instruction on this subject, in fact I am new to this approach not know too much about it. Noticing that many European Companies(like Bosch and Siemens) all are pursuing the model of EFQM, and there are some valuable concept and flesh thoughts inside. So if it is possible, I would like to have some detailed information about how to develop EFQM in one company. I think it will be useful and helpful both for my career development and personal interest, but I do not know if it is suitable to say that. But whatever pls have my thanks for your attention.
