Littelfuse Mexico Operations Receives Manufacturing Excellence Award
Sept 20, 2019
Littelfuse announced its passenger car product manufacturing operations in Piedras Negras, Mexico, have been recognized by the Association for Manufacturing Excellence (AME) with the 2019 AME Excellence Award. This is the fourth consecutive year that Littelfuse manufacturing operations have earned the AME Excellence Award. The AME Excellence Award recognizes manufacturing plants that have demonstrated excellence in manufacturing and business. The award acknowledges continuous improvement, best practices, creativity and innovation.
In 2016, Littelfuse operations in Wuxi, China, received the AME Excellence Award, followed by Dongguan and Suzhou, China, in 2017. Littelfuse continued its track record in 2018 as its Philippines operations were AME Excellence Award winners.
First awarded in 2010, the AME Excellence Award has a rigorous selection process that begins when a company submits an extensive achievement report based on the AME Excellence Award evaluation criteria. Achievement reports are evaluated by the AME award assessment team. For companies that score high enough in this achievement report review, an intensive site visit is completed, during which a volunteer team of manufacturing practitioners validates the submitted achievement report. Recipients of the Excellence Award are selected based on the combined results of the achievement report review and site visit feedback. The award has been bestowed upon just 44 facilities around the globe during the past 10 years.
