by Brianna Crandall — March 23, 2016—Frost & Sullivan’s Manufacturing Leadership (ML) Council recently recognized world-class manufacturing companies and individual leaders as winners of the 2016 Manufacturing Leadership Awards. ML Award winners and their technology partners will be honored on June 8 at the international Manufacturing Leadership Summit in Carlsbad, California. The ML High Achiever Awards, ML Manufacturers of the Year and the Manufacturing Leader of the Year will also be announced at the Summit.
Now in their 12th year, the Manufacturing Leadership Awards honor organizations and individuals that are shaping the future of global manufacturing. Nominations are entered into 13 categories, evaluated and scored by a panel of expert judges. Twelve of the ML Awards categories are for outstanding projects by a manufacturing company, and one category recognizes the achievements of individual manufacturing leaders.
The 73 organizations on the list of ML Award winners include small and large enterprises representing a wide range of manufacturing markets. The winners have all demonstrated achievement across a wide variety of domains including sustainability, operational excellence, innovation, supply chain management, and others. They leverage best-in-class processes, technologies and engaged teams to distinguish themselves from the competition and deliver clear and compelling value, says Frost & Sullivan.
Among the winners are:
- The Dow Chemical Company for Big Data and Analytics Leadership;
- GE Global Research for Internet of Things in Manufacturing Leadership; and
- The Boeing Company for Mobility in Manufacturing Leadership.
Global Vice President and Editorial Director of the Manufacturing Leadership Council David R. Brousell commented:
Winners of the 2016 ML Awards have proven that they are at the forefront of a global, technology-driven transformation that we call Manufacturing 4.0. By relentlessly improving and digitizing every corner of their operations, these outstanding leaders are not only delivering greater value to customers, they are redefining excellence in the manufacturing industry. We congratulate them.
