Find the problem....Fix the problem...Cut costs  

 

Repetitive problems impact customers, end users, employees, competitiveness and profitibility. The risks associated with repeat problems has significantly increased. The identification of problems in most companies is more rigorous but the ability to solve them has not improved at the same rate. Instant communications in the market today can make a new product or service an instant "hit" but that same instant communication about "problems" with a product or service can quickly wipe out that success.

          RECOGNIZE YOUR QUALITY TEAM EFFORTS 

 

 

The Mid-South Quality and Productivity Center presents a Regional Quality Cup Award which is aligned with the Baldrige Award Criteria and the former RIT/USA Today Quality Cup Award. This award honors individual teams (six categories) that make exceptional contributions to their employers' quality improvement programs. The winning teams serve as regional and national role models, encouraging others to accept principles and practices that lead to continuous improvement and customer satisfaction. 

  

 

Awards are made to individual teams in each of six categories:

  • educational institutions
  • government units and agencies
  • health care organizations
  • manufacturing firms
  • service firms
  • small businesses

  

Nominations should be made in recognition of exemplary customer service or for exceptionally valuable improvements in a system or process for achieving customer satisfaction.

 

Judges include quality experts from consulting industry and universities. In the first round of judging, each nomination is read and scored by a pair of Baldrige-trained judges. Consensus is reached by an additional panel of Baldrige-trained judges.

 

Nominees will be provided with the judges' comments for each of the judging criteria, but without commentary or explanation.

4 Disciplines of Execution 

  

 

Without question, the "Four

Disciplines" process is one of

the most important things you

can do as an individual, team

member or manager.

 

It drives performance by giving

team members a sense of

purpose and clarity of vision

 

 

Narrow the number of truly important

goals down to the absolutely critical

using a filtering tool for distinguishing

wildly important goals from the merely important ones 

 

Detect misalignments with

organizational objectives

 

"Clear the path" so you and your
teammates can succeed

 

Create a scoreboard to
know if you're winning

 

Realize your role in helping others
keep their commitments
