Raymond recognized as Manufacturing Leadership Award 2021 winner
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.
