Abstract: In this article we prove that the Buchsbaum-Rim multiplicity $ e(F/N)$ of a parameter module $ N$ in a free module $ F=A^r$ is bounded above by the colength $ \ell_A(F/N)$. Moreover, we prove that once the equality $ \ell_A(F/N)=e(F/N)$ holds true for some parameter module $ N$ in $ F$, then the base ring $ A$ is Cohen-Macaulay.
