Since 1993
MIPex is a non-profit 501c3 organization formed in 1993 as the Michigan Quality Council. MIPEx uses the national Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence as its framework.
MIPEx provides services by relying upon the support of many volunteers from businesses, education and health care institutions, and non-profit and government agencies.
Volunteers receive training that enables them to provide these services and improve their own organizations. MI PEx is supported by fees for services and contributions from sponsoring organizations.
How can we help you?
MIPEx provides information, feedback, training, and education to assist Michigan organizations in improving quality, customer satisfaction, and other results. All stakeholders benefit, including customers, employees, owners, and suppliers. Communities also benefit when organizations are thriving.
Feedback from a “fresh-eyes” view of your organization may be the best reason to submit an application through the process. Annually, organizations that use systematic approaches to achieve results are recognized for their performance, but the feedback they receive from experienced examiners is the higher reward.
History
Michigan Performance Excellence is the successor organization to the Michigan Quality Council, which was formed in 1993 in a partnership of leading Michigan organizations and the State of Michigan. Leaders in these organizations felt that Michigan needed a program to encourage use of the Baldrige Criteria to improve performance and enhance competitiveness.
