Patterned after the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award criteria and process, the Texas Award for Performance Excellence (TAPE) was established in 1994 as an annual recognition of Texas organizations that have achieved performance excellence and applied outstanding quality principles in their day-to-day operations. The award is presented to manufacturers, service companies, education organizations, small businesses, health care organizations, and public organizations that serve as role models for quality, customer satisfaction, and performance excellence in the state of Texas.
The 2006 Texas Award for Performance Excellence recipients were selected from among 13 applicants. All four recipients were evaluated rigorously by an independent board of examiners in seven areas: leadership; strategic planning; customer and market focus; measurement, analysis and knowledge management; human resource focus; process management; and results.
The evaluation process included individual review, team consensus, and an on-site visit by teams of examiners to clarify questions and verify information in the applications. Since 1994, the Quality Texas Foundation, a non-profit Texas corporation that administers the Texas award, has presented 28 recipients with the Texas Award for Performance Excellence.
