The NAME Award is widely regarded as the most prestigious recognition in the maintenance and reliability function. Awards are presented to individual plants on the basis of their maintenance departments’ ability to provide “capacity assurance for operational excellence” in the areas of organization, work processes, and materials management

Any site that meets the award’s standards of excellence may be honored with the NAME Award.
