NORTHVILLE, Mich., June 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Recognizing its world-class
culture and agility to support the evolving automotive and
industrial markets, Cooper
Standard's (NYSE: CPS) Aguascalientes, Mexico mixing facility was
awarded a Quality Excellence Award during the 2024 Seraph
Operational Excellence Awards ceremony.
The Seraph Operational Excellence
Awards recognize automotive manufacturing facilities in
North America that demonstrate
outstanding performance and innovation across five categories.
Cooper Standard is one of five
companies Seraph is celebrating this year.
"I would like to congratulate the entire team at our
Aguascalientes, Mexico, facility
for their dedication to excellence," said Patrick Clark, president, sealing systems and
chief manufacturing officer, Cooper
Standard. "The Cooper Standard team strives for excellence
in all parts of our business and continues to achieve world-class
results. This commitment enables us to serve as a trusted supplier
to our global customers by delivering consistent, world-class
quality in everything we do."
The winners of the Seraph Operational Excellence Awards were
chosen through a comprehensive two-step process designed to assess
and evaluate performance across key operational areas. In the first
step, all candidates completed an online assessment, which
thoroughly reviewed their logistics, operations, human resources,
and quality practices. This assessment helped identify the
organizations that exhibited exceptional operational
excellence.
The top candidates from the initial assessment proceeded to the
second step, where each received a one-day onsite assessment
conducted by the Seraph team. During this phase, the Seraph experts
conducted in-depth evaluations of the shortlisted organizations,
gaining deeper insights into their operational strategies,
practices and culture.
"Cooper Standard's Aguascalientes mixing plant has a powerfully
integrated manufacturing and quality testing process," said
Pete Metcalfe, the senior consultant
responsible for all assessments. "Their proprietary LoMOS system
controls and confirms recipes with shop floor testing, that is then
verified by an impressive QCLab. With over 5,000 tests per day this
lab is world class in 5S and Safety with signs of continuous
improvement mixed into their daily operations."
This is the second consecutive recognition for Cooper Standard's Aguascalientes, Mexico facility. Last year, it
was one of two plants recognized with a 2023 IndustryWeek Best
Plants Award for its outstanding operational excellence, customer
service and employee engagement.
