Posted on: Wednesday, 3 June 2009, 12:00 CDT

One Of Only Six Companies To Receive Prestigious Award

MELBOURNE, Fla., June 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Corporation (NYSE: HRS), an international communications and information technology company, is one of just six firms to receive a 2009 AMR Research Leadership Award, which recognizes excellence in specific disciplines within the broader topic of supply chain leadership. The award was presented May 27 in Scottsdale, Arizona, during the 2009 Supply Chain Executive Conference.

Harris was selected from among two dozen corporations nominated in the Small-to-Midsize Company award category. The category recognizes a corporation that demonstrates superior supply chain leadership but does not meet the revenue requirements for the AMR Research Supply Chain Top 25, for which only global 500 companies are eligible.

"The winners of this year's AMR Research Leadership Awards have demonstrated superior capabilities and leadership across the global supply chain," said Bruce Richardson, chief research officer at AMR Research. "It is an honor to recognize companies that not only excel at supply chain, but whose products and business practices contribute to society."

"Our Supply Chain mission is to ensure great customer experiences with all of our businesses, and to enable profitable growth for the corporation," said Leon Shivamber, vice president of Harris Supply Chain Management and Operations. "We are honored that AMR Research has recognized the efforts and results of our talented team and great supply partners in transforming the supply chain at Harris."

Harris has a robust Supply Chain program and is dedicated to working with supply partners who demonstrate the highest ethical standards and who operate according to legal requirements, accepted economic principles, as well as human rights and environmental guidelines. Harris also has in place procurement programs that encourage active participation by small or disadvantaged businesses. The company was awarded the 2008 Champions of Veterans Enterprise Award and was listed by Industry Week as among the magazine's 2009 top 50 U.S. manufacturing companies.

Other winners of the 2009 AMR Research Leadership Awards are Procter & Gamble, in the Corporate Responsibility category; Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance, Inc., which received the John Fontanella Supply Chain Innovation Award; and Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and Better Place/Tririga, which were recognized for Sustainable Leadership. Winners were selected by a team of senior AMR analysts and AMR management.
