"Collaboration with our supply base has been a critical component in our ability to bring 16 new or significantly refreshed vehicles to the marketplace in the past year. Without the strong support of our supplier partners, we would not have been able to accomplish such a feat in such a short amount of time," said Dan Knott, Chrysler Group Senior Vice President of Purchasing and Supplier Quality.

Chrysler recognized suppliers who fared well on its External Balanced Scorecard, a rating system that evaluates supplier performance in areas such as quality, delivery, cost, warranty and partnership in addition to input from senior leadership.  

"It is an honor to be recognized by Chrysler for our commitment to service," said Linda Brandl, Union Pacific vice president and general manager-Automotive. "Our dedicated team effort and our focus on delivering value made this award possible. We aim to continue exceeding expectations in logistics and transportation with Chrysler."
