Dell Computer: Quality Management Makes the Difference
Expert from Dell to Discuss 'The Future of E-Support' at GBC E-Business 2000
CHAPEL HILL, N.C., Aug. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Industry Week magazine has chosen Dell Computer Corporation one of "The World's 100 Best Managed Companies" in its August 21 issue. Dell Computer appears on the list for the fifth year in a row.
Beginning with a pool of over 1000 candidate companies, magazine editors used a combination of "financial formula results, questionnaires, company information, and expert panelist and editor votes," to identify the top 100 best managed companies. The magazine identified Dell's "value-chain and lean- manufacturing practices" as the key to its consistent placement on the list.
Dell Computer is in select company. Joining Dell on Industry Week's list of five-time winners are Cisco Systems, DuPont, Eli Lilly, Intel, Johnson & Johnson, Nokia and Pfizer.
What else do these companies have in common? They are all members of the Global Benchmarking Council.
"One way these top companies improve their overall management is to learn from the experience of others," said Chris Bogan, President and CEO of Best Practices, LLC, the leader in benchmarking and best practice research. "World-class companies view the GBC as an ideal resource because it provides an established network of experienced business professionals from which to learn. If you have a question, someone in the GBC has the answer," Bogan said.
Drawn by discussions of E-Service, E-Human Resources, E-Sales & Marketing and Benchmarking, GBC members and guests will gather in Las Vegas, November 8-10 for GBC E-Business 2000. E-Business 2000 will include detailed presentations, knowledge sharing roundtables, and informal events focusing on new and ongoing e-business initiatives. Attendees will participate in interactive presentations from companies including Dell Computer, Texas Instruments and Glaxo Wellcome.
