The Raymond Corporation is honored for enabling manufacturing excellence
The Raymond Corporation has been recognized as a Manufacturing Leadership Awards winner in the Operational Excellence Leadership Award category for its outstanding achievement at the plant located in Greene, New York. This is the fifth year in a row the company has received a Manufacturing Leadership Award.
The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) Manufacturing Leadership Council selected Raymond’s Greene facility as a winner for its ongoing culture of continuous improvement, which focuses on warehouse optimization and improved performance. Since 2006, the Greene plant’s use of lean management and continuous improvement methodologies have helped standardize processes, visualize improvements and increase efficiency.
In addition to lean management techniques, this plant has implemented standardized work, weak point management, change point management, a total process reliability initiative, and quality circle activities. These changes have helped this manufacturing site realize more than three times the production volume over the past 13 years.
“We are extremely honored that Raymond’s Greene plant has once again been named as a Manufacturing Leadership Award winner,” said Tony Topencik, senior director of operations and quality, The Raymond Corporation. “As a team, continuing to focus our internal efforts on training and standardized work allows us to better serve our customers and provide them with end-to-end intralogistics solutions.”
Raymond was recognized at the Manufacturing Leadership Awards Gala, which took place as a virtual event on May 19, 2021. Details on attending the virtual gala are available at https://mlawards.
