Teijin Automotive’s Lenoir, N.C., U.S. facility has bagged the AME Excellence Award, and it’s a big deal! This place is making history as the first composites and molding manufacturing facility to win this award. The AME Excellence Award is all about recognizing manufacturing facilities that are killing it in the manufacturing and business operations game. It’s like the Oscars for manufacturing, but without the red carpet and fancy dresses.
The Teijin Automotive facility in Lenoir has been doing some serious work to earn this award. They’ve been following a Lean Continuous Improvement Operating System called “Our Way” for over three years. It’s all about standardization, accountability, and getting everyone in the team engaged. Tracy Gray, the plant manager, says that this operating system is the secret sauce to their success. It gives everyone a voice and the power to manage their own goals and objectives. No demands here, just a supportive environment for making improvements.
Getting this award is no walk in the park. Companies have to submit a detailed achievement report based on AME’s evaluation criteria, and if they score high enough, they get a visit from the AME team. It’s like a reality show where the judges come to your place and see if you’re the real deal. Only the best of the best get to take home the Excellence Award.
Teijin Automotive Technologies is all about making advanced composite components for the global automotive and transportation industries. They’re the go-to guys for carbon and glass fiber components, and they’re part of the Teijin Group of companies.
