The Best Baldrige Scores
The Baldrige program released more data on the 1,100 or so applicants for the Baldrige Award from 1990 through 2006. The best score over that 17-year period was 811 out of a possible 1,000 points by a company in 1990. The data do not identify the applicants. By my count, there have been just ten organizations that have received more than 700 points, and only one since 1993.
From what I can tell, the best scores for the Items in process categories 1 to 6 from 2003 to 2006, when the point values of each Item did not change, were:
1.1: 55 of 70 | 1.2: 38 of 50
2.1: 32 of 40 | 2.2: 33 of 45
3.1: 32 of 40 | 3.2: 36 of 45
4.1: 36 of 45 | 4.2: 35 of 45
5.1: 26 of 35 | 5.2: 18 of 25 | 5.3: 19 of 25
6.1: 38 of 50 | 6.2: 31 of 35
The data indicate that the best score an organization can achieve on a process Item is around 75-80% of the possible points, and the same is true for categories. The best scores by process category from 2003 to 2006 were:
1: 91 of 120 | 2: 64 of 85 | 3: 63 of 85
4: 70 of 90 | 5: 63 of 85 | 6: 66 of 85
The best scores for results Items in 2005 and 2006, when the point values for each item were the same, were:
7.1: 75 of 100 | 7.2: 51 of 70 | 7.3: 55 of 70
7.4: 49 of 70 | 7.5: 53 of 70 | 7.6: 51 of 70
Category 7: 308 of 450
