“IMCT QD Score 100 Points 3Y” is awarded to IMCT suppliers who for three consecutive years have received the “Supplier Evaluation Score Both Quality & Delivery 100 Points” from IMCT’s system for scoring the performance of suppliers, with 100 points awarded to suppliers whose product quality and logistics management have not generated any problems. The award is evidence of IMCT’s high evaluation of the quality of products received from YTST and YRTC and the two companies’ supply capabilities during the past three years, from 2020 to 2022. In addition to these awards from IMCT, the two Yokohama Rubber subsidiaries in Thailand have received many supplier awards from other local car manufacturers in recent years.
