National Instruments has announced the 22 recipients of the company’s Global Supplier Awards for 2010. Among the winners were ModusLink, a supplier of CD replication and print services, and Sonopress. “With the rising standard to which global companies are being held, National Instruments makes it a priority to work with suppliers who are dedicated to quality performance, timely delivery, a competitive cost structure and innovative business practices,” said Scott Christman, director of the Global Supply Chain for National Instruments.
The annual awards were presented to suppliers who, through their commitment to excellence, continuous improvement and innovative practices, delivered world-class performance within the global supply chain. “These suppliers have demonstrated the commitment, innovation and results that set them apart from the rest of the industry, and we congratulate them for their outstanding accomplishments,” added Christman.
National Instruments recognizes suppliers in six categories: Supplier of the Year, NI Eagle Award, Best in Commodity Class, Overall Scorecard Performance, Quality and On-Time Delivery. Award recipients are chosen based on the National Instruments supplier scorecard, which evaluates performance in the areas of cost, quality, global support, delivery, technology and innovation. Suppliers are scored quarterly with periodic reviews scheduled to facilitate better communication as well as to identify possible improvement opportunities.
