WMS wins 2014 Manufacturing Leadership Award

Now in its tenth year, the ML Awards recognize companies and individuals that are shaping the future of global manufacturing. Through partnerships with its worldwide network of suppliers, WMS has optimized its end-to-end supply chain, leading to increased efficiency, reduced lead times and improved product quality. The capabilities developed from this effort enable WMS to maximize the total value of its supply and manufacturing network across commodities, disciplines and geographies. The process and strategies developed by WMS enable sustainable, best-in-class supply chain performance that allow us to continue to meet the needs of the gaming industry, while directly advancing the integration objectives of the Scientific Games merger.

“We are honored to be recognized by the Manufacturing Leadership Council in the Supply Chain Leadership category. This achievement represents truly collaborative innovation across WMS’ entire end-to-end supply chain,” said Chris Hillman, Vice President of Global Supply Chain. “This is a testament to WMS’ leadership and commitment to optimizing our performance for our customers.”

Heather Holst-Knudsen, President of the Manufacturing Leadership Council, said, “In a world of intensifying global competition and accelerating change, recipients of the ML Awards have distinguished themselves by embracing breakthrough innovation and enabling their companies to anticipate and respond to customers with unmatched agility. ”

WMS will be honoured alongside other award recipients and manufacturing leaders from around the world at the ML Summit in June.
