Quality Driven Management

Delivering on promises to customers

Around the world, FedEx team members share a commitment to the Purple Promise: “I will make every FedEx experience outstanding.” It’s a pledge that sets the bar for excellence, earns customer loyalty and creates a strong culture of engagement.

We deliver on this commitment through Quality Driven Management, or QDM. An innovative quality system developed by FedEx, QDM equips our team members to advance three critical goals:

• Deliver superior customer experiences.
• Drive innovation and improved business performance.
• Empower teams and individuals to do their best.

Achieving market-leading customer experience and business excellence

QDM builds on leading quality approaches — including Six Sigma, Lean Six Sigma, Total Quality Management and design thinking — to create an optimal approach for a service business like FedEx.

From the executive suite to the front line, QDM provides ways to solve everyday challenges and take innovative ideas from concept all the way to launch. It gives team members:

• A consistent way to take action on business and customer priorities
• Frameworks for problem-solving and innovation
• A common approach to collaboration
