TME reviews the performance of its suppliers over the previous financial year in a range of different categories. The supply recognition category is given to vendors with outstanding delivery performance.

To judge the winners, TME assesses KPIs (key performance indicators) which include overall delivery performance, encompassing service parts and accessories with a Certificate of Recognition, which for 2022 (covering the 2021 financial year period) included NSK.

The Quality award goes to a single supplier each year after TME uses PPM as a common measure of the number of defects that occur in a million parts. Warranty claims and response to quality issues are among additional supplier criteria considered for this award.
