The American Purchasing Society conducts a survey of members to determine the best suppliers. Buyers and purchasing managers nominate the supplier they feel gives outstanding performance. To make a nomination a member of the Society submits a form providing information on the supplier's performance in meeting schedules, producing products and services that meet specifications, and providing competitive costs. The purpose of the program is to provide an incentive for supplier improvement. Winning suppliers benefit by gaining additional business by announcing the receipt of the award to potential customers.
