IndustryWeek’s new Industry Excellence Awards program recognizes the manufacturing decision-makers and companies that are driving the transformation of U.S. manufacturing through the use of new technologies, the cultivation of outstanding talent and adoption of advanced operational practices. It also will honor executives and companies that advocate the essential value of manufacturing to U.S. and global society and pay tribute to the lifetime achievement of one executive or thought leader in the U.S. who has had a demonstrable impact on the business of manufacturing.
The goal of the program is to celebrate innovation in manufacturing business leadership, specifically to recognize and promote the new ideas, strategies and best practices that drive transformation in manufacturing by leveraging technology, talent and operations strategies to achieve revolutionary leadership practices, business models, production systems and products.
Together with the IndustryWeek Best Plants Award program, these new corporate-level award winners exemplify what it means—and what it takes—to be a world-class manufacturer.
