Abstract

This paper joins concepts from sustainable development, business excellence, and quality function deployment to develop a vehicle that deploys a unified concept of BEST Business Excellence.

Other TQM/Excellence models provide similar frameworks. Without a deployment mechanism, good policies are no more than words and diagrams; therefore, this paper provides a BEST Deployment model.
