Help Purchasing select its team of MRO buying champions for 2006
Staff -- Purchasing, 5/4/2006 2:00:00 AM
Purchasing is looking for MRO buyers who demonstrate excellence in their daily responsibilities to honor with a spot on the magazine's team of MRO champions.
These MRO buyer champions see challenges as opportunity for success: They may have lowered inventory levels through a consignment program, reduced purchasing costs (perhaps with more energy-efficient products) or introduced a new application or technology to end users. Whatever they've accomplished, it's likely they worked closely with a dedicated supplier. Maybe they standardized on one product across several plants nationwide or conducted an online auction that helped improve customer satisfaction.
There's still time to submit your nomination. Please send a brief message describing an MRO purchasing professional who deserves to be recognized to savery@reedbusiness.com by May 31, 2006. Purchasing MRO Champions for 2005 include buyers from BMW, United Technologies, Pilgrim's Pride, Woodward, Kellogg and Whayne Supply (Purchasing, August 11, 2005; p. 48). MRO Champions for 2006 will be announced in Purchasing's August 17 issue.
