important customer for us, and their appreciation of our services is
a valuable reward for our efforts. Yazaki's commitment to GM's future
success is strong, and we are confident that our partnership will
improve both of our positions in today's challenging environment."

global team of purchasing, engineering, manufacturing and logistics
executives determines the winners. Its decisions are based on
supplier performance in the areas of quality, service, technology and
price.
