PURPOSE. This instruction defines a strategy for recognizing efforts in furthering the Total
Quality Management (TQM) goals of the Coast Guard and rewarding outstanding
accomplishments by individuals, teams and working groups using TQM.
2.
DISCUSSION. This is the fourth in a series of instructions on TQM. Referenced (a) and (b)
define our TQM philosophy and linking pin structure. Reference (c) describes the TQM
communications and measurement strategy. This instruction outlines the recognition system
changes which will be forthcoming in references (d) through (i) to establish a teamwork
dimension to our recognition system. A link is established to our Idea Express program
which will be reflected in a change to reference (j). This instruction will be reviewed and
revised as we mature in our use of TQM.
