LOGAN, UT-Dubbed the "Nobel prize of Manufacturing" by Business Week, the Shingo Prize is increasingly being recognized as the premier manufacturing award and recognition program in North America. The largest missile manufacturing facility in the world, the first appliance manufacturer and 10 automotive suppliers are recipients of the 2004 Shingo Prize for Excellence in Manufacturing.
"Once again the recipients of the Shingo Prize demonstrate that they are prepared to weather economic uncertainty by not wasting precious manufacturing and business resources," says Ross Robson, Shingo Prize executive director. "Shingo Prize recipients and lean manufacturers clearly stand out among the manufacturers of North America in terms of quality, cost, delivery and business results."
