A MoldMaking Technology Leadtime Leader is:
A company that performs beyond the status quo using all available resources, whether that means teamwork between skilled employees and well-managed scheduling or having the latest machinery and equipment, automation, etc. – or both. It's all about what you do with what you have. It's optimizing what you have to build the best molds for customers while keeping costs fair and meeting deliveries. It's not about being the biggest, most fancy shop. It's about working smarter and with a passion for what you do.
Why is it called Leadtime Leader?
Mold manufacturing boils down to leadtimes. If you can't make or exceed delivery expectations for a customer, that customer probably will not be back. Leadtime Leaders use all resources available, including skills and experience, to continually improve their work performance. They always strive to provide customers with exceptional service, solutions and support. This Award recognizes and honors North American mold manufacturers that strive to reduce leadtimes and improve delivery performance by streamlining operations, improving productivity, and increasing output and revenue while engaging employees and impacting the industry.
