Excellence in MANUFACTURING PROCESS Definition

Nominations are open to manufacturing companies for consideration of the Excellence in MANUFACTURING PROCESS Award at the annual Hunter Manufacturing Awards.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING DEFINITION BEFORE COMPLETING YOUR APPLICATION FORM TO ENSURE YOU ARE SUBMITTING IN THE CORRECT CATEGORY.

To assist you with this application the judges have provided some guidelines.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Excellence in manufacturing process will be assessed by examining evidence of measurement of a number of essential inputs and outputs.

Nominations are open to any manufacturing company that has developed or introduced a manufacturing process by improvements to inputs (through planned investment in any or all of production capability, systems, services and people ) resulting in increased profitability, emanating from improved efficiency/productivity, reduced waste, better quality etc.

The judges will look for evidence of planning, targeted improvements, leadership and commitment and outcomes.

When providing your answers, the “For Example” / guidelines we have suggested for each question are not intended to be exhaustive. They are designed as examples and prompts to help you understand the judges’ requirements. It is important that where you state that you have evidence in support of the specific question you are answering, you need to provide that evidence - usually, a generic brochure or company overview is not sufficient.

Note - Applicants may find that their application into the Excellence in Manufacturing Process category may also be a 'fit' for another category, such as marketing, product design, innovation, export, etc.
