The Faculty of Dentistry at Khon Kaen University has been honoured with the Thailand Quality Class Plus: Operation award for the year 2025. The official award announcement and presentation ceremony will be held on Thursday, 26 February 2026, at the Makkawan Rangsan Ballroom, Royal Thai Army Club in Bangkok, an event organised by the Thailand Productivity Institute.  

The Thailand Quality Award is a prestigious honour, widely recognised both nationally and internationally. It serves as a benchmark for organisational management excellence, affirming that an organisation meets global standards. The award is highly beneficial for organisations committed to developing their potential and elevating their operations towards sustainable excellence.

The award’s assessment process is based on the criteria of The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA) from the United States, a model adopted by many countries worldwide, including Japan, Australia, Singapore, and the Philippines. The evaluation covers seven key categories: Leadership; Strategy; Customers; Measurement, Analysis, and Knowledge Management; Workforce; Operations; and Results.

Previously, the Faculty of Dentistry at Khon Kaen University received the Thailand Quality Class Plus: People award for the year 2021, which was announced on Thursday, 3 March 2022.

This recent achievement is a source of immense pride for the Faculty of Dentistry, Khon Kaen University, and reflects its unwavering commitment to developing an effective organisational management system. The Faculty will continue to leverage the award criteria to analyse, plan, and continuously improve its operations, aiming to create lasting value for the organisation, society, and the nation.
