Quality Award in the Philippines

During the 1990s, many countries revealed their demands to improve quality for the promotion the competitiveness of their companies with others in global market by a national policy for quality. They focused in three areas for developing quality management such as TQM, ISO 9000, and National Quality Awards (NQAs). Most of the government of these countries were interested to have their own quality awards. But before establishing a national quality awards (NQAs), it was very necessary to develop some “standardization activities on a national level by a national standards body”.
