The selection process for 2014 USA Suppliers of the Year gets underway this month. Each year members vote for the top USA suppliers in both the Materials and Services categories. These coveted awards are presented at the USA Executive Summit in June and include a Nuclear News advertisement recognizing the accomplishment as well as a beautiful commemorative plaque.

Each USA member gets one vote based on a compilation of input from all internal stakeholders. Criteria considered includes such things as safety, technical support, quality, savings and customer service. An evaluation matrix is provided to the Supply Chain manager for each member and he/she is asked to solicit input from other groups, average the scores and then submit one vote for each category. Final input will be due in late April.

Please be sure to contact the following Supply Chain Team Representatives to participate. We want everyone’s voice to be heard:
