Short Statement: The management framework of the United States Coast Guard is the Commandant’s Performance Excellence Criteria (CPEC), based on the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award Criteria for Performance Excellence. The CPEC guides leaders to establish and refine sound management systems, leading to improvement of overall organizational effectiveness. The Criteria focuses on results in six organizational performance areas, one of those relating to customers and stakeholders. In order to obtain qualitative data regarding the goods and services produced by the US Coast Guard, we developed the attached survey, intended to garner feedback from our customers and stakeholders external to the federal government.
