ISO 9000 Familiy

ISO 9000 family is a family of standards about Quality Management.

You can read this post about ISO 9000 family.

EFQM Model

European Foundation Quality Management (EFQM) Model is developed by the EFQM.

You can read this post about the EFQM Model.

CAF

Common Assessment Framework (CAF) 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).

EVAM is featured in the European Commison’s thematic paper about Quality Management in PES.

CYCLOS

CYCLOS is featured as a quality management model in the Spain AGT CSSTIAE exam on 2023-10-26, but I have not read it as a reference outside this source.
