Established by the U.S. Congress in 1987, the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA) recognizes United States companies that successfully implement quality management systems. The award not only shines a light on the achievements of a single company, but also raises awareness of the importance of quality management. First awarded by President Ronald Reagan near the end of this time in office, the award ranks as the highest presidential honor an organization can receive for
performance excellence. Six Categories for MBNQA AwardsWinners of an MBNQA can receive the award in one of six categories. They include: - Manufacturing
- Service Company
- Small Business
- Education
- Healthcare
- Nonprofit
Founded in February 1988, the Baldrige Foundation oversees the awards program. The foundation states that it
follows the guidelines set down in Congress for the MBNQA, which are to identify and recognize role-model businesses, establish criteria for evaluating improvement efforts, and disseminate and share best practices. Who Was Malcolm Baldrige?Malcom Baldrige served as Secretary of Commerce under President Reagan. His tragic death helped bring congressmen from both national parties together to establish the award that bears his name. To understand the award, it’s important to
understand the context. Starting in the 1970s and into the 1980s, Asian manufacturers, especially Japanese electronics and automobile producers, began to outshine U.S. companies in the area of quality. Many members of Congress, most notably Rep. Dan Fuqua of Florida, supported creation of a national award for quality to spur companies to make improvements in this key area. However, Congress did not vote on Fuqua’s bill in 1986 to establish the award. Then, in 1987, Baldrige died in an
accident. A native of Nebraska, Baldrige had worked in rodeos his entire life. On July 25, 1987, at the age 64, Baldrige died from injuries sustained at a rodeo at Jack Roddy Ranch in Northern California when the horse he was riding fell on him while he was participating in a calf-roping competition. While even those in business today may not remember Baldrige, he was one of the most beloved public officials in the Reagan Administration. His policies, including trade policies he helped
develop with China, India, and the Soviet Union, helped spark immense growth in the U.S. economy. Well respected around the world for his dedication to quality management, Baldridge’s death spurred Congress to create the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. The 7 MBNQA CriteriaWhile as many as three awards can be given each year in the six categories, that does not always happen. Nominees are judged by an independent board. Only those who meet stringent criteria are
considered for an award. The board considers each based on achievements in seven areas. Collectively, these areas are known as the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence. The seven areas of criteria include: - Leadership: How well leaders perform for the organization and how well the organization performs for the community.
- Strategy: The company’s success in
planning and implementing strategic goals.
- Customers: How well the company meets the needs of customers and establishes long-term relationships with them.
- Measurement, analysis, and knowledge management: The use of data-driven decisions to drive performance.
- Workforce: The empowerment and level of involvement of an organization’s workforce.
- Operations: The use of process improvement to make
changes in operations.
- Results: A measure of how well the company did against competitors, as well as in customer satisfaction, finance, human resources, supplier and partner performance, operations, social responsibility, and governance.
Reagan awarded the first MBNQAs in November 1988, near the end of his eight years as president. That year’s recipients were Motorola, Inc., Westinghouse Electric Corporation Commercial Nuclear Fuel Division and Globe
Metallurgical Inc. (now Globe Specialty Metals, Inc.) Reagan said of the award, “America’s economic strength depends on industry’s ability to improve productivity and quality and to remain on the cutting edge of technology. And that’s why the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award is so important.”

The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award recognizes U.S. organizations in the business, health care, education, and nonprofit sectors for performance excellence. The Baldrige Award is the highest[2] formal recognition of the performance excellence of both public and private U.S. organizations given by the President of
the United States. It is administered by the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program, which is based at and managed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), an agency of the U.S. Department of
Commerce. The Baldrige Performance Excellence Program and the associated award were established by the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Improvement Act of 1987 (Public Law 100–107). The program and award were named for Malcolm Baldrige, who served as
United States Secretary of Commerce during the Reagan administration, from 1981 until Baldrige's 1987 death in a rodeo accident.[3] The first
award was given November 13, 1988.[1] By 1991, The New York Times opinionated that the criteria should be broader and "tougher to
win."[4] In 2010, the program's name was changed to the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program.[5] The award is not given for specific products or services. Baldrige
Excellence Framework[edit]Overview[edit]The Baldrige Excellence Framework has three parts: the Criteria for Performance Excellence, core values and concepts, and scoring guidelines. The framework serves two main purposes: (1) to help organizations assess their improvement efforts, diagnose
their overall performance management system, and identify their strengths and opportunities for improvement and (2) to identify Baldrige Award recipients that will serve as role models for other organizations. In addition, the framework and its Criteria help strengthen U.S. competitiveness by • improving organizational performance practices, capabilities, and results • facilitating communication and sharing of information on best practices among U.S. organizations of all types • serving as a
tool for understanding and managing performance and for guiding planning and opportunities for learning • The framework provide organizations with an integrated approach to performance management that results in • delivery of ever-improving value to customers and stakeholders, contributing to organizational sustainability • improved organizational effectiveness and capabilities • organizational and personal learning The following three sector-specific versions of the Baldrige framework
are revised every two years: - Baldrige Excellence Framework (Business/Nonprofit)[6]
- Baldrige Excellence Framework (Education)[7]
- Baldrige Excellence Framework (Health
Care)[8]
Framework details[edit]The framework provides organizations with an integrated
approach to performance management that results in delivery of ever-improving value to customers and stakeholders, contributing to organizational sustainability improved organizational effectiveness and capabilities organizational and personal learning The criteria for performance excellence are based on a set of core values: - Systems perspective
- Visionary
leadership
- Customer-focused excellence
- Valuing people
- Organizational learning and agility
- Focus on success
- Managing for innovation
- Management by fact[9]
- Societal responsibility
- Ethics and transparency
- Delivering value and results
The questions that make up the criteria represent seven aspects of organizational management and performance: - Leadership
- Strategy
- Customers
- Measurement, analysis, and knowledge management
- Workforce
- Operations
- Results
History of the Baldrige
Program[edit]In the early and mid-1980s, many U.S. industry and government leaders saw that a renewed emphasis on quality was necessary for doing
business in an expanding and competitive world market. The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Improvement Act of 1987, signed into law on August 20, 1987, was developed through the actions of the National Productivity Advisory Committee, chaired by Jack Grayson. The nonprofit
research organization APQC, founded by Grayson, organized the first White House Conference on Productivity, spearheading the creation of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award in 1987. The Baldrige Award was envisioned as a standard of excellence that would help U.S. organizations achieve competitive quality. In the late summer and fall of 1987, Dr. Curt Reimann, the first director of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Program, and his staff at the National Institute of Standards
and Technology developed an award implementation framework, including an evaluation scheme, and advanced proposals for what is now the Baldrige Award. In its first three years, the Baldrige Award was jointly administered by APQC and the American Society for Quality, which continues to assist in administering the award program under contract to NIST. Up to 18 awards
may be given annually across six eligibility categories—manufacturing, service, small business, education, health care, and nonprofit. As of 2016, 113 awards have been presented to 106 organizations (including seven repeat winners).[10] Program
impacts[edit]- The ratio of Baldrige Program benefits for the U.S. economy to program costs has been estimated at 820 to
1[11]
- A New York Times-generated investment portfolio composed of Baldrige awardees "beat the S.& P. by nearly 4 to
1."[12]
- Median growth in revenue for two-time Baldrige Award winners is 92%.
- Median job growth for two-time Baldrige Award winners is 63% (compared with 2.5% for a matched set of industries and time periods).
- 2010–2015 Baldrige Award applicants represent 567,434 jobs, over $142 billion in revenue/budgets, and about 449 million
customers served.
- The value of services donated in 2015
- by 349 national Baldrige examiners was $5.3 million.
- by state Baldrige-based examiners was $30 million.
- A 2013 study by Truven Health Analytics linked hospitals that adopt and use the Baldrige Criteria to successful operations, management practices, and overall performance.
- According to survey results reported in Futurescan 2013,[13] by 2018, 65% of hospitals are likely to "use the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence as a systematic framework for performance improvement or as an internal assessment tool"
- According to the same survey, 41% of hospitals were then considered likely to submit an
application for the Baldrige Award or a state-level Baldrige-based award by 2018.
Public-private partnership[edit]The Baldrige Award is supported by a
public-private partnership. The following organizations and entities play a key role: - The Foundation for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award raises funds to permanently endow the award program.
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, manages the Baldrige Program.
- The
American Society for Quality (ASQ) assists in administering the award program under contract to
NIST.[14][15]
- The Board of Overseers advises the Department of Commerce on the Baldrige Program.
- Members of the Board of Examiners—consisting of leading experts from U.S. businesses and
education, health care, and nonprofit organizations—volunteer their time to evaluate award applications and prepare feedback reports for applicant organizations. Board members also share information about the program in their professional, trade, community, and state organizations. The Panel of Judges, part of the Board of Examiners, makes award recommendations to the director of NIST.
- The network of state, regional, and local Baldrige-based award programs known as the Alliance for
Performance Excellence provides potential award applicants and examiners, promotes the use of the Criteria, and disseminates information on the award process and concepts.
- The ISSA, the professional association for cybersecurity, is in formal
partnership with the Baldrige Alliance for Performance Excellence. The Alliance and the ISSA offer a free Baldrige-based self-assessment of cybersecurity operations. It may be found at ManageHub
- Award recipients share information on their successful performance and quality strategies with other U.S. organizations.
