Mar 19, 2002 ESEC (Cham, Switzerland) received a 2001 Preferred Quality Supplier (PQS) award from Intel Corp. (Santa Clara, CA) for outstanding performance in providing products and services deemed essential to Intel's success. The company was awarded for its efforts in supplying Intel with flip chip attach equipment and die bonders.
"ESEC's PQS award this year was well-deserved," said Randy Bollig, Intel's director of Assembly/Test Capital Equipment Development. "They revamped their account management structure, reduced their lead-times significantly and delivered every order on time or ahead of their commitment."
The PQS awards are part of Intel's Supplier Continuous Quality Improvement (SCQI) process. To qualify for PQS status, suppliers must score high on a report card that assesses performance and ability to meet cost, quality, availability, technology and responsiveness goals. Suppliers must also manage and deliver on a challenging improvement plan and a quality systems assessment.
"ESEC is proud to receive this prestigious quality supplier award from Intel," said ESEC's CEO Felix Bagdasarjanz. "It is strong motivation for our employees to continuously improve customer satisfaction."
