SAN FRANCISCO and NORTH CANTON, Ohio, May
21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Menlo Logistics, the
$1.7 billion supply chain management
subsidiary of Con-way Inc. (NYSE: CNW) announced today that it has
been honored by Diebold, Incorporated, with the 2014 Platinum Award
for Supplier Excellence.
Diebold is a global leader in providing innovative financial
self-service, security, software and service solutions to
financial, commercial, retail and other markets. Menlo was one of
only two Diebold suppliers — and the only logistics company — to be
awarded the Platinum designation, which is Diebold's highest
accolade for superior performance delivered by their suppliers.
More than 100 suppliers attended the awards ceremony.
Menlo has been a global supply chain partner of Diebold since
2007 and had previously won the company's Silver Award six times.
Menlo won the Platinum Award on the strength of its integrated
logistics solutions for Diebold, which incorporate strategic 4PL
supply chain engineering and network optimization services with
functional, day-to-day third party logistics (3PL) services.
These services include transportation procurement and management
through three global transportation "control tower" centers in
Auburn Hills, Michigan,
Budapest, Hungary, and
Shanghai, China, as well as
traditional 3PL services such as warehouse design, management and
fulfillment. The solutions include a Diebold-dedicated warehouse
operated by Menlo in the U.S. that supports assembly, staging and
distribution of finished products as well as component materials to
Diebold plants globally.
"Menlo has consistently provided Diebold with outstanding global
logistics solutions that meet our strategic and tactical supply
chain operation needs," said Linda
Parcher, Diebold vice president and chief supply chain
officer. "During the past eight years, through Menlo's leadership
in Lean continuous improvement methods, we have realized
substantial improvements in our supply chain operating systems and
process innovations that have elevated supply chain performance.
Diebold awarding Menlo with a Platinum Award for Supplier
Excellence is reflective of the value Menlo has provided during our
partnership."
"True collaboration and commitment to continuous improvement are
about recognizing and accepting the need for change . . . and
change is hard," said Robert L. Bianco
Jr., Menlo's president. "What I'm most proud of is that over
the eight years we've had the privilege of being a Diebold
supplier, we still sit down regularly and examine what we do and
why, and we have the fortitude to ask the hard questions and not
settle for the status quo. Our team is still innovating, still
applying Lean methods to find new opportunities to create value and
reduce costs."
