NASA PRESENTS QUALITY AWARDS TO TELEDYNE AND BARRIOS
WASHINGTON - NASA presented its highest honor for quality and
technical performance, the George M. Low Award, to two companies
committed to innovative management, process quality and customer
service. The awards, containing a medallion alloyed with material
flown to the moon on Apollo 11, were presented Tuesday at NASA's
fourth annual Project Management Challenge Conference in Galveston,
Texas.
Teledyne Brown Engineering, nominated by NASA's Marshall Space Flight
Center, Huntsville, Ala., received the large business service award.
Barrios Technologies, nominated by NASA's Johnson Space Center,
Houston, received the small business service award. Three finalists
also were acknowledged - Honeywell Technology Solutions Incorporated,
Columbia, Md., Arcata Associates, Las Vegas, Nev., and Delaware North
Companies Parks and Resorts, Kennedy Space Center, Fla.
Senior managers and engineers from government and industry attend the
Project Management Challenge Conference. The conference is a forum
for NASA and its contractor partners to exchange ideas, success
stories and lessons learned. It provides participants the opportunity
to learn about quality management and improved communication
practices to apply in their own organizations.
Established in 1985, NASA's Excellence Award for Quality and
Productivity recognizes those in the contractor community whose
quality management practices can be a global benchmark for
excellence. In 1990, the award was renamed in memory of George M.
Low, an outstanding NASA leader who contributed greatly during his 27
year tenure and was deputy administrator from 1969-1976. Low was a
leader in the early development of NASA's space and manned space
flight programs.
