Intel works with thousands of suppliers around the world, and these select few suppliers have demonstrated leading-edge performance, making it possible for Intel to achieve the innovations of tomorrow.”
The PQS award is part of Intel’s Supplier Continuous Quality Improvement (SCQI) program, which encourages Intel’s key suppliers to strive for best-in-class levels of excellence and continuous improvement. Additional information about the SCQI program is available at www.intel.com/go/quality.
