Barnes Group Inc. (NYSE: B), a diversified global manufacturer
and logistical services company, today announced that its Barnes
Aerospace, Ogden, Utah Division, has been awarded the prestigious
Shingo Silver Medallion award from The Shingo Prize for Operational
Excellence.
The Shingo awards are one of the world’s top prizes for
operational excellence and are awarded only to those businesses
that demonstrate exceptional work in business improvement through
the application of universally accepted principles of operational
excellence that empower people and transform organizational
culture. The Shingo Prize’s intent of assessing organizations is to
evaluate the degrees to which organizations are aligned with the
principles of operational excellence represented in the Shingo
model.
“We are extremely honored to receive The Shingo Silver Medallion
award in recognition of our Ogden Division’s pursuit of continuous
quality improvement,” said Gregory Milzcik, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Barnes Group Inc. “Ogden’s success exemplifies
Barnes Group’s focus on attaining operational excellence across the
entire enterprise – leading to exceptional business results and
value creation for our customers.”
The intent of The Shingo Prize is to identify organizations
doing exceptional work in business improvement and to motivate
others to learn from those organizations. To achieve The Shingo
Prize, organizations compete against the most rigorous standards in
the world, rather than against each other. “Shingo award recipients
have proven themselves as leaders in operational excellence and
have challenged traditional paradigms to face competitive
challenges in today’s global economy,” said Robert Miller, The
Shingo Prize Executive Director. “We congratulate Barnes Group for
their broad application of lean principles across all of their core
business processes. They are clearly building a culture of
continuous improvement and empowering every single individual to
contribute to the success of the business.”
Barnes Aerospace, Ogden Division, will be awarded The Shingo
Silver Medallion at the 24th Annual Shingo Prize Awards Gala,
during the Annual International Conference on April 30 - May 4,
2012. Robert Miller, Executive Director of The Shingo Prize, will
visit the Barnes Group Aerospace Ogden facility for a local
ceremony and award presentation on Wednesday, February 22, 2012.
