HKMA Quality Award

Hong Yip Service Company Ltd. won the Certificate of Excellence in the Hong Kong Management Association's (HKMA) 2002 Quality Award. Hong Yip is the first property management company to win this award.

The HKMA Quality Award is the Association's most prestigious business accolade. First launched in 1991, the Award aims to reward commitment in an age of change, and to bring public recognition to those organizations that have achieved outstanding standards of quality and made a lasting commitment to the process of quality management.

The Award is modeled after the American Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, and is the Hong Kong equivalent to the Japanese Deming Prize and the European Quality Award. The seven judging criteria include: Leadership, Strategic Planning, Customer and Market Focus, Information and Analysis, Human Resource Focus, Process Management and Business Results.

All companies from the fields of service, manufacturing and small business, whose principal activities in Hong Kong, are eligible to apply for this prestigious Award. After preliminary screening of the initial submissions, several high quality companies are shortlisted to submit a final detailed write-up and will give presentations plus a Question and Answer Session before the Board of Examiners. The Examiners will conduct on-site verification of claims made in submissions of shortlisted entries and recommend potential winner to the Panel of Judges who will then make the ultimate decision.
