Anyone can nominate a plant-employees, suppliers and casual observers are welcome to make submissions. Deadline for nomination forms is November 1, 2011. All nomination forms must include a list of equipment, and brand, used in the manufacturing facility.

Nominations without this list will be disqualified.

The Quality Plant of the Year will be announced at the 2012 Quality Measurement Conference. In addition, each winning plant will be profiled in the March 2012 issue of Quality Magazine. The winning plants must be available for interviews and photographs in November/December 2011.
