Skanska has received Intel Corporation’s Preferred Quality Supplier (PQS) award recognizing their significant contributions to Intel in 2008. Skanska supplies Intel with construction management services, deemed essential to Intel’s success. Skanska and 25 additional suppliers are recognized as 2008 PQS award winners.
“We are honored and proud to be recognized with such an esteemed award for the first time. It is a great reward to provide service for an organization that recognizes commitment to quality at all levels. We are committed to the SCQI program and working our hardest to continue providing outperforming service for our valuable client Intel,” said William Flemming, president and CEO, Skanska USA Building Inc.
“Congratulations to Skanska for winning Intel’s Preferred Quality Supplier award,” said Allen Ware, Facilities Materials and Services director, Intel Corporation. “Their leadership and commitment to safety, quality and continuous improvement sets them apart as a role model among Intel Suppliers and to the construction industry.”
The PQS award is part of Intel’s Supplier Continuous Quality Improvement (SCQI) program that encourages suppliers to strive for excellence and continuous improvement. To qualify for PQS status, suppliers must score 80 percent on a report card that assesses performance and ability to meet cost, quality, availability, delivery, technology and responsiveness goals. Suppliers must also manage and deliver on a challenging improvement plan and a quality/business systems assessment. Furthermore, the 2008 awardees had to demonstrate basic compliance to the Electronic Industry Code of Conduct and Intel’s Green Sustainability Program. Additional information about the SCQI program is available at http://supplier.intel.com/quality/scqi.htm.
Celebrations will be held in Tokyo, Japan and Santa Clara, California during the month of March 2009 to honor the PQS award winners. In addition, there will be an online advertisement launch and acknowledgement on Intel’s website.
