With his past experience as an examiner for the Malcolm Baldrige Award, the entire book is heavily influenced by the framework and essential content of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award criteria. The authors believe the principles of total quality, as reflected in the Baldrige Award, provide the best overall synthesis of the concept of quality.
