The award jury's citation for Danaher Motion reads: "With an advanced process control, a systematic continuous hunt for improvements, innovative logistics solutions throughout the entire supply chain - and last but not the least, by smart utilisation of strategic suppliers - this year's winner of the Swedish Postal Service Logistics Award has designed an effective and a maximum value creating, world class logistics solution".
"We are very happy that the distinguished jury of the Posten Logistics Award has appreciated our logistics work at Danaher Motion, Stockholm".
"The core reason for our success, for which we now have this important recognition, is that we always focus on continuously improving our processes in the leanest and most effective way, in accordance with our improvement and business development system, Danaher Business System (DBS)," says Andreas Koutzamanis, Supply Chain Supervisor at Danaher Motion in Stockholm.
The prize is awarded to the company or organisation that has created the most effective, innovative and creative logistics solution that also increases the competitiveness of the company.
"Our continuous improvement work drives every aspect of our culture and performance in all areas, from making sure that everyone has access to the same information to, for example, introducing the U-formed assembly lines or so called U-cells, instead of traditional straight assembly lines".
"U-cell assembling has many advantages, for example, more effective work operations, a steady one piece production flow and a minimum of inventory," says Andreas Koutzamanis.
