Yesterday evening General Motors held its 22nd annual Supplier of the Year awards ceremony in Detroit, recognizing the important role its global supply chain plays in producing the cars you read about here. The Supplier of the Year award winners were chosen by a team of purchasing, engineering, quality, manufacturing and logistics executives from GM’s global operations around the world.
Fewer than one percent of GM’s suppliers from around the world receive this honor, which is based on a criteria of “delivering innovative technology, superior quality, timely crisis management and competitive, total-enterprise cost solutions.” Says Grace Lieblein, GM vice president, Global Purchasing and Supply Chain, “Our suppliers play an important role in helping GM deliver compelling vehicles to our customers. Supplier of the Year winners have outstanding track records for consistently meeting our business needs while also supporting our cultural priorities.”
In addition to the 68 winners, four others were awarded the Overdrive Award, which singles out a select group of suppliers who have implemented initiatives that have helped further GM’s success. “The Overdrive Award is given to those world-class suppliers that have gone above and beyond,” Lieblein said. “Each has met the demands of our business, while at the same time demonstrating values important to GM and our communities.”
