Earlier this month, NHBB held its ninth annual Supplier Summit in Laconia, NH at the Lake Opechee Inn and Spa Conference Center. In attendance were more than 130 individuals from 73 service, manufacturing, and distribution companies that supply NHBB with everything from castings, lubricants, steel, and coatings to MRO goods like abrasives, cleaning agents, and tooling.

In addition to highlighting the increasingly strict requirements of its customers, NHBB shared its plans for optimizing and integrating the supply-base. Some of the steps NHBB is taking include standardizing supplier performance metrics, conducting quarterly supplier performance reviews, and assisting suppliers with Kaizen continuous improvement initiatives.
