SEA
Suppliers are distinguishing themselves by accelerating their improvement
effort. When they first begin as “Members” they are educating themselves in
order to choose the best path to SEA Roadmap implementation. Those who have
chosen a path begin to invest, and successfully submitting their quarterly report
for review by a SEA examiner qualifies them for the “Engaged” status. Those
suppliers who continue their efforts achieve SEA Certification Stages 1-3.
SEA Certified Suppliers are setting the bar for the Aerospace & Defense
Industry.
Semi-Finalists
Announced for Aerospace and Defense Industry’s 2008 Annual Supply Chain
Awards
The
Supplier Excellence Alliance (SEA) has announced semi-finalists for the prestigious 2008
Aerospace & Defense Industry Supply Chain Awards. Winners will be announced
at the Awards Gala on November 12, 2008 at the Hyatt Grand Champions Resort,
Villas & Spa in Indian Wells, California.
Semi-Finalists
are among the few and the rare breed of suppliers who have distinguished
themselves by making an uncommon investment in improvement. In many cases the
difference between the announced winners, finalists, and semi-finalists is
very small. There are 118 semi-finalists that represent the judge’s choices
from over 300 nominations.
