MKP sent a delegation of Martin Stone, Clive Smith, Richard Hill and Phil Brown to accept the award, with the presentation party consisting of Anna Lee (Quality Director), Dave Thomas (SQEP), Terry Heames (SQEP), Allan Wells (Quality) and Nathan Bland (Commodity Buyer).
The Caterpillar SQEP Award was created as a certification program to recognize those suppliers who demonstrate their commitment to excellence and drive a zero defects culture within their organizations.
