26 companies that passed the tough
Intel-test to receive quality supplier award
It's hard task for purchasing managers to select right vendor
to procure material and services to precision electronics
manufacturing. People look for some benchmark to rate the
vendor. Intel this year(2009) picked and awarded 26 companies
with Preferred Quality Supplier from its thousands of vendors.
This list gives some ready reference for purchasing /procurement
managers in semiconductor and electronic industry to save
their research in identifying and rating the vendors.
Intel says, these suppliers exceeded high expectations and
tough performance goals to distinguish themselves from the
thousands of suppliers that work with Intel.
