You can read this post about the EFQM Model.
CAF
Common Assessment Framework (CAF) is a common tool to assist public sector organisations to use quality management techniques in public administration.
It adapts the EFQM to the public sector.
The structure of the CAF model is based on the analysis of 7 facilitating agents.
CAF facilitating agents:
- leadership
- strategy & planning
- people
- partnerships & resources
- Processes
- Results
- etc.
It is featured in the European Commison’s thematic paper about Quality Management in PES.
EVAM
EVAM is a Spanish model for public administration, adapted from EFQM, is a recommended model for provincial directorates.
A self-assessment tool, including a questionnaire, supports units with limited management capacity. The test combines the vision of management, following the phases of the PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) cycle.
EVAM may be more easily accepted within an organisation when EFQM is seen as too complex to apply (e.g. used by ES).
