Is your plant good enough for this?

by Jamie Flinchbaugh, Lean Learning Center

Assembly Magazine’s 5th Annual Assembly Plant of the Year Award is looking for nominations. They are due April 16th. Is your organization ready? Think you measure up? This is a great test if you think you do.

The goal of the award is to identify and showcase a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in the United States that has applied world-class processes to reduce production costs, increase productivity, shorten time to market, or improve product quality.

The previous four recipients of the award were:

Square D/Schneider Electric, Lexington, KY (2007)
Lear Corp., Montgomery, AL (2006)
Xerox Corp., Webster, NY (2005)
Kenworth Truck Co., Renton, WA (2004).

The award is open to all manufacturers—both large and small—in all industries. Facilities can use either low-volume manual assembly processes or high-speed automated equipment (or a mix of both). You can nominate through this form.

Good luck!
