The NDIA Manufacturing Division needs your help!

The Supply Chain Network Committee is performing a study of small to mid-sized suppliers that are or have been suppliers to the aerospace/defense industry.  The study is interested in identifying those factors that influence supplier involve-ment in this industry. You are asked to complete a short web-based survey. Click the survey link to complete the survey.

Participation is voluntary and all responses will be kept confidential. Your participation is welcomed and needed.

Any questions should be directed to Steven A. Melnyk at melnyk@msu.edu or Kenneth Sullivan at sullivk@uah.edu.
