Are you an MRO Buy All-Star?

Staff -- Purchasing, 3/3/2005

Purchasing magazine is looking for leaders in strategic MRO purchasing—and we need your help!

We're asking readers to nominate purchasing professionals who demonstrate excellence in procurement and supply-chain management performance in the buying of MRO (maintenance, repair, operations) goods and services.

PURCHASING editors will select leaders of MRO buying operations based on demonstrated success at managing relationships with suppliers as well as their use of innovative programs to rein in spending on MRO goods and services. PURCHASING will recognize these purchasing pros for their accomplishments with a spot on 2005 MRO All-Star Buy team.

Please send names of MRO buyers who you believe deserve this recognition to savery@reedbusiness.com by Friday, April 29. The team will be announced in a feature story in PURCHASING's Aug. 11, 2005 issue.

Past MRO All-Star Buy teams consisted of purchasing professionals from such companies as Sonoco Products, United Airlines, Intel, Motorola, BorgWarner, Tenneco Automotive, Xerox, ICI, Waste Management, Kraft Foods, United Technologies Corp., Sony Electronics and Lockheed Martin.
