"Intel's award-winning suppliers are critical to Intel's success," said Jacklyn Sturm, corporate vice president and general manager of Global Supply Management at Intel. "As we grow into new markets with evolving and expanding product quality and performance requirements, these suppliers continue to rise to the challenge to collaborate, innovate and win together."
To qualify for PQS status, suppliers must score at least 80 percent on an integrated report card that assesses performance throughout the year. Suppliers must also achieve 80 percent or higher on a challenging continuous improvement plan, and demonstrate solid quality and business systems. The Distinguished Performance in Safety award honors companies for investing in and implementing relevant programs, maintaining transparency and supporting the supply chain.
