Outline: • Baldrigecriteria • ISO 900-2000
1. Baldrige criteria • The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award is the highest award for performance excellence. • The education criteria for performance excellence are: • Delivery of over-improving value to students and stakeholders • Improvement of overall organizational effectiveness and capabilities. • Organizational and personal learning.
Consist of seven major categories and several sub-categories focus on learner-centred excellence:
1. Leadership • Examines how an organization’s leaders guide and sustain the organization. • The way an organization’s governance addresses the ethical, legal and public responsibilities.
2. Strategic planning: • an organization’s strategic objectives and action plans are examined . • Analyses how strategic objectives and action plans are deployed, changed, and progress is measured.
3. Student, Stakeholder, and Market Focus • Examined how an organization determines the requirements, expectations, and preferences of S, SH, and M. • Consider the relationship with students and stakeholders. • students and stakeholders satisfactions.
4. Measurement, Analysis and Knowledge Management • Examined how an organization selects, gathers, analyses and improves its data and knowledge assets. • how an organization reviews organizational performance.
5. Work Focus • Examines an organization’s ability to organize, mange and develop workforce to utilize their full potential.
6. Process management • Focuses on an organization’s core competencies and work system • Institutional readiness to face emergency situations.
7. Results • Examines an organization’s performance in all the above 6 categories and improvements in key areas: • Students learning • Budgetary provisions • Faculty and staff results • Leadership
2. ISO 9000:2000 • The International Organization for Standardization (IOS but referred as ISO) was founded to develop international standards. Quality system management standards were issued in 1987 by IOS.
The ISO 9000 is a common label that consist of ISO 9001, ISO 9002, ISO 9003, ISO 9004 and subsets issued first in 1987. ISO 9000 was revised in 1994 and In 2000 • The current one is ISO 9000:2000
The ISO 9000 certificate indicates that the organization is able to meet the needs and demands of its customers in a planed and controlled manner, but this does not necessary indicate the product are also of quality. • The ISO 9000:2000 is based in a process model that emphasizes continues improvements.
Kartha (2004) lists eight eight quality principles as envisaged in ISO 9000:2000
The ISO approved guidelines for the application of ISO in education in 2002
3. Capability Maturity Model • The CMM is based on the concept of “key Process Areas” that collectively achieve a set of goals important for enhancing process capability. • The CMM is not prescriptive, but a framework to help software organization to gain control of their processes for developing and maintaining software for excellence in engineering and management.
Initial: the software process is characterized as ad hoc, and occasionally even chaotic. Few process are defined, and success depends on individual efforts. • Repeatable: basic project management is process are established to track cost, schedule and functionality.
Defined: The software process for both management and engineering are documented, standardized and integrated into a standard software process for the organization. • Managed: detailed measures of software process and products are quantitatively understood and controlled.
Optimizing: Continuous process improvements is enabled by quantitative feedback from the process and piloting innovative ideas and technologies.
