To receive consideration, a candidate must be an advocate promoting the use of PM working for an end-user manufacturer and/or first tier supplier. Recipients must still be active in their respective sphere of contribution. The contribution may include, but not limited to R&D work, process improvements, new assembly or part designs which promote acceptance of PM parts.
