Auma has been presented with an award for best supplier in United Utilities’ Electrical, Controls and Automation (ECA) category. United Utilities’ kit team divides suppliers into five categories for award nominations and Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) are used to monitor success. The awards are organised quarterly by United Utilities. Expanding on the KPI measures used, and the standard achieved by Auma, Lorraine Morton, United Utilities Contracts and Business Co-ordinator said: “KPI’s used to measure achievement are the time to complete design, quotation turnaround period, ability to deliver to programme, product quality, health/safety/environment and early warning notices. Auma achieved a score of 91.67% in respect of the nine contracts they were undertaking at the time of the assessment for United Utilities’ two main contracting parties.” Auma’s ECA award was announced at United Utilities last kit framework meeting held in the UK on 18th April 2007.
