Performance Excellence

Sanmina’s Performance Excellence program drives global process consistency and fosters the sharing of best practices between plants and support functions.

Sanmina’s Performance Excellence program drives global process consistency and fosters the sharing of best practices between plants and support functions. It also ensures adherence to processes and discipline, as the performance of each plant is reviewed and evaluated on an annual basis.

The annual evaluation reviews five areas: Customer and Demand Management, Supply Chain Management, Product Execution, Plant Compliance, Plant Predictability & Key Financial Metrics.

Detailed checklists are used for each section and an overall score is calculated for each plant. Corrective and Preventative Actions as well as Improvement Plans are created as a result of the site reviews.

A summary of key requirements for each of the five sections is presented below:
