YORK TOWNSHIP, Mich.,
June 22,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Toyota Motor North America
(TMNA) announced that it has bestowed awards to supplier recipients
recognizing exceptional supplier performance for 2022. The annual
awards program celebrates both direct and indirect suppliers who
consistently exceed TMNA's expectations in various areas.
At a recent ceremony, TMNA presented a total of 68 awards.
Direct suppliers earned Performance awards in Superior and
Excellent categories for areas of technology and development,
supplier diversity, value improvement, VA achievement, quality,
launch, and value chain promotion. Indirect suppliers were
recognized for their exceptional performance in diversity
improvement, quality, cost improvement, management, and customer
service performance. Additionally, select indirect suppliers
received special recognition for performance in their respective
business category.
Further, Gentex Corporation received the Regional Contribution
Award, and the Total Exceptional Achievement for Manufacturing
(TEAM) Award was presented to Toyoda Gosei North America
Corporation.
"We are grateful for the contributions of all our suppliers, and
we are proud to recognize those who have gone above and beyond in
their performance," said Robert
Young, group vice president of Purchasing Supplier
Development at TMNA. "We treat each supplier as a partner to
produce and deliver world-class vehicles and mobility solutions to
Toyota customers."
This recognition program underscores the importance of supplier
relationships in advocating for a commitment to quality,
innovation, and sustainability, which are essential to the success
of TMNA. Every year, suppliers are evaluated in multiple
performance areas through an internal scoring system, which
incorporates specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). While
award categories remain consistent, the number of awards bestowed
varies each year, dependent on the number of organizations that
meet TMNA's proposed goals.
