Sažetak
Business excellence has become the strongest means of achieving competitive advantage of companies
while total management of quality has become the road that ensures support of excellent results recognized
by many world companies. Despite many differences, we can conclude that models have many common
elements. By the audit in 2005, the DP and MBNQA moved the focus from excellence of product, i.e service,
onto the excellence of quality of the entire organization process. Thus, the quality got strategic dimension
instead of technical one and the accent passed from the technical quality on the total excellence of all
organization processes. The joint movement goes to the direction of good management and appreciation
of systems thinking. The very structure of EFOM model criteria itself is adjusted to strategic dimension of
quality and that is why the model underwent only short audits within the criteria themselves. Essentially, the
model remained unchanged. In all models, the accent is on the satisfaction of buyers, employees and community.
National rewards for quality have an important role in promotion and giving a prize to excellence
in organization performances. Moreover, they raise quality standards of companies and the country profile
as a whole. Considering the GDP per capita and the percentage of certification level of companies, Croatia
has all the predispositions for introduction the EFQM model of business excellence with the basic aim of
deficit decrease in foreign trade balance and strengthening of competitiveness as the necessary preliminary
work for the entrance in the competitive market of the EU. Quality management was introduced in many
organizations. The methods used at that time developed in the course of years, and what are to predict is the
continuation of the evolution road model as well as the method of business excellence.
