Curtiss-Wright Receives SC21 Silver Award for Supply Chain Excellence for Third Consecutive Year
Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions division, a trusted leading supplier of rugged video management solutions, today announced that its facility in Letchworth, UK has been honored with SC21 Silver Award status for the third consecutive year. Supply Chains for the 21st Century (SC21), managed by ADS, is an improvement program designed to accelerate the competitiveness of suppliers within the UK aerospace, defense and space industries by raising the performance of its supply chains. Suppliers are considered on the basis of their on time delivery, quality compliance, manufacturing excellence, relationship excellence and business excellence over a period of twelve months. The prestigious Silver Award specifically recognizes above 95.0% on time delivery and 99.5% quality compliance, for which Curtiss-Wright achieved 100% in both categories over the twelve month period. The SC21 award honors organizations that achieve and maintain the agreed targets in terms of delivery, quality, sustainable improvement, and the associated improvement frameworks (business, manufacturing, and relationship excellence).
“We are very proud that our excellent on time delivery and quality compliance have, for the third straight year in a row, been recognized by SC21 with its prestigious Silver Award,” said Lynn Bamford, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Defense and Power.
