The American Manufacturing Strategy Awards (AMSA) celebrate excellence in all aspects of production, including lean manufacturing, innovation, operational excellence, and sustainability. Lennox took the top spot in the Operational Excellence category due to its significant waste reduction and high level of customer satisfaction, according to AMSA judges. The panel also said Lennox displayed a company-wide culture of accountability and responsibility that in turn increases productivity.

 

 

“We are honored to receive such a high recognition for our operational achievements,” said Albert King, plant manager. “Our team remains committed to its best-in-class strategy to create constant improvement, targeting all key business needs and customer satisfaction while focusing on waste reduction and environmental sustainability through consistent development initiatives.”
