Business Wire
Intel Corporation today announced that 18 companies will receive
the 2013 Intel Preferred Quality Supplier (PQS) award, which
recognizes commitment to performance excellence and continuous
improvement. These companies achieve PQS status by demonstrating
industry-leading commitment across all critical focus areas on
which they are measured: quality, cost, availability, technology,
customer service, labor and ethics systems, and environmental
sustainability.
In addition to the PQS award, Intel recognized one supplier with
the Supplier Achievement Award, which is a focused recognition for
extraordinary accomplishments in one or more key performance
areas. This year’s winner was acknowledged for significant
contributions to Intel’s success by delivering on challenging
volume expectations and for demonstrating robust working hours
management and extensive monitoring of its own global supply base.
The 2013 PQS and Achievement winners will be honored at a ceremony
tonight in Santa Clara, Calif.
“Every year, the world appears faster and more complex. It was
especially true last year for supply chain as the market dynamics
heightened the pressure on our agility, velocity, affordability and
innovation,” said Jacklyn Sturm, vice president, Technology and
Manufacturing Group and general manager of Global Sourcing and
Procurement at Intel. “We could not be successful without the
Intel’s Preferred Quality Supplier Award winners traveling with us,
aligning their strategic capabilities and improvement plans to
deliver exceptionally strong performance on all fronts, from
technology innovations to corporate responsibility. Thank you for
your exemplary commitment to your customers.”
“Intel is delighted to recognize our Preferred Quality Suppliers
for their industry-leading performance in 2013 in the areas of
technology, affordability, velocity and sustainability,” added
Robert Bruck, vice president and general manager of Technology
Manufacturing Engineering at Intel. “The close collaboration with
these suppliers has been one of the crucial factors in enabling
Intel to extend our industry-leading silicon, packaging and test
technologies, and in enhancing value and responsiveness to our
customers.”
The PQS award is part of Intel’s Supplier Continuous Quality
Improvement (SCQI) program that encourages suppliers to innovate
and continually improve. To qualify for PQS status, suppliers must
exceed high expectations and uncompromising performance goals while
scoring at least 80 percent on an integrated report card that
assesses performance throughout the year. Suppliers must also
achieve 80 percent or greater on a challenging continuous
improvement plan and demonstrate solid quality and business
systems. Additional information about the SCQI program is available
