REDONDO BEACH, Calif.,
Sept. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- In
keeping with its commitment to honor excellence, Northrop Grumman
Corporation's (NYSE: NOC) Aerospace Systems sector recognized 74
companies from the United States,
Canada and Turkey with its annual supplier awards for
2013.
Northrop Grumman presents the annual supplier awards in two
categories: Platinum Source Preferred and Suppliers of the Year.
Thirty-two small businesses were honored, including six small
disadvantaged-owned businesses as defined by the U.S. Small
Business Administration. Northrop Grumman grants the awards only to
those Aerospace Systems sector suppliers that achieve distinction
in product quality, on-time delivery, customer satisfaction, and
robust, lean processes.
"Achieving excellence in any endeavor is difficult, but consider
how tough it is when we're challenged to do more with less and to
keep doing it better," said Lisa
Kohl, vice president, global supply chain, Northrop Grumman
Aerospace Systems. "Northrop Grumman has set a very high standard
and it's our privilege to honor those suppliers that exceed
it."
The honored suppliers provide Northrop Grumman with products
ranging from aircraft parts and components to complex spacecraft
electronic subsystems, as well as everyday services.
"The end users of our products and systems – the ones who put
everything on the line to protect and project freedom – must be
able to trust that what we've built will be of unquestioned quality
and performance, regardless of factors like budget climates and
perceived challenges," said Art
Lofton, vice president, global mission excellence, Northrop
Grumman Aerospace Systems. "The systems get better, and we find new
ways to achieve, thanks in large part to the suppliers we're proud
to call our teammates."
The Supplier of the Year program recognizes suppliers in seven
categories: non-production, procurement, production operations,
research and development, small business, special recognition, and
subcontracts. To be considered, a company must consistently
demonstrate superior performance and quality in delivering products
or services.
