About the Supplier Excellence Award (SEA)
Established in 1984, the SEA is TI’s highest level of supplier recognition. Each year, a select group of suppliers is chosen based on their contributions in service and quality performance. Recipients are evaluated across six key criteria: cost, environmental and social responsibility, technology, responsiveness, assurance of supply, and quality.
