This is a chance for enterprises to assess and perfect themselves in improving product quality and service, enhancing competitive capacity and promoting their trademark in domestic and foreign markets, especially in the context that Vietnam has signed many free trade agreements, the Trans-Pacific Partnership and joined the ASEAN Economic Community, he said.
The awarded firms are judged on seven criteria of leadership, strategic planning, customer service and knowledge, measurement, analysis and management, workforce focus, and process management and results.
The national quality award has been granted to 1,690 businesses in the past 20 years, Vinh added.
