NASA ANNOUNCES WINNERS OF 2011 GEORGE M. LOW AWARD FOR QUALITY
WASHINGTON -- NASA has presented its premier honor for quality and
performance, the George M. Low Award, to two companies that share a
commitment to teamwork, technical and managerial excellence, safety,
and customer service.
The Low award demonstrates the agency's commitment to promote
excellence and continual improvement by challenging NASA's contractor
community to be a global benchmark of quality management practices.
The 2011 awards were presented Feb. 23 at NASA's ninth annual Project
Management Challenge in Orlando, Fla., to:
-- Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc. of Huntsville, Ala. Teledyne Brown
Engineering provides space systems engineering, exploration, science,
operations and maintenance, and manufacturing services to NASA's
Marshall Space Flight Center; and payload and cargo integration for
NASA's Johnson Space Center. This is the second time in the past five
years that Teledyne Brown Engineering has received the award in the
large business service category.
-- Sierra Lobo, Inc. of Milan, Ohio. Sierra Lobo develops critical
systems and technologies, and provides research support services
associated with aeronautics and space exploration at NASA's Glenn
Research Center in Cleveland; Langley Research Center in Hampton,
Va.; Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla.; Ames Research
Center in Mountain View, Calif.; and Johnson Space Center in Houston.
Sierra Lobo, also a two-time winner, received the award in the small
business service category. It previously received the award in 2007.
The award was established in 1985 as NASA's Excellence Award for
Quality and Productivity. It was renamed in 1990 in memory of George
M. Low, an outstanding leader with a strong commitment to quality
products and workforce during his 27-year tenure at the agency. Low
was NASA's deputy administrator from 1969 to 1976 and a leader in the
early development of space programs.
