Supplier Quality
To encourage the drive for excellence, each year we recognize our top suppliers for their products, materials, capital equipment, services, and business practices. Learn more about our Intel® EPIC (Excellence, Partnership, Inclusion and Continuous Improvement) Program and awards.

Helping the World’s Best Get Even Better: The Intel® Excellence, Partnership, Inclusion and Continuous Improvement (EPIC) Program
Each year, Intel recognizes the highest-performing suppliers through the Intel® EPIC Program. A single-level EPIC recognition is given to suppliers who achieve the highest standards of excellence with their Key Strategic Objectives aligned to Intel’s Priorities.
How Do Suppliers Become Part of the Intel® EPIC Program?
Intel managers and directors who work with our suppliers on a regular basis identify the best of the best potential candidates and recommend them to the Intel executive team. Management reviews each supplier candidate and determines which are qualified to participate in the Intel® EPIC Program.
Only select suppliers are invited to join the Intel® EPIC Program. Out of the thousands of companies that supply Intel with raw materials, equipment, finished goods, and professional services each year, there are a few hundred in the program with a limited number who receive an award.
For more detailed information about the Intel® EPIC Program, please contact your Intel account manager or us at Intel Supplier Communications.
