A company relies on its suppliers to ensure quality, competitiveness and customer satisfaction; these strong and reliable partners make a significant contribution to the company’s business success. As in previous years, FACC Operations GmbH has honoured three of their suppliers for exceptional commitment and exemplary performance with an “Excellent Supplier Award 2014” in Gold, Silver and Bronze. In addition, an organisation has also been chosen to receive a “Special Performance Award” in recognition of their services and total support.
The main selection criteria to be nominated for an FACC “Excellent Supplier Award” are the continual provision of both High Quality products and reliable adherence to Delivery Requirements. Additional factors also taken into consideration are: customer service, flexibility, co-operation and a willingness to develop, accept and implement cost-saving and process-optimising measures. The "Special Performance Award”is presented to a supplier and/or organisation whose performance cannot be measured by conventional methods, but have consistently shown outstanding commitment to both FACC and its customers.
