GKN Aerospace presented Doncasters Bramah with its Innovation and Lean award as part of its annual supplier awards programme. The award recognises the market-leading service that Doncasters Bramah provides GKN, as well as significant value delivered through its contract supplying titanium four-way air-bleed ducts for one of GKN's key Airbus A380 programmes.
Damon Harvie, general manager at Doncasters Bramah said: “We're delighted that GKN has recognised the quality of service provided by the team at Bramah and the hard work that has gone into ensuring we exceed customer expectations at every level.
“In competitive markets, delivering 100% on time with no quality issues is no longer good enough. By carrying out a value stream mapping exercise and working closely with GKN's own team, we were able to identify areas where we could add real value and help GKN achieve its own demanding targets.”
Tarek Maguid, global supply chain integration and continuous improvement director at Doncasters, added: “This award is fantastic news for the Doncasters Group and demonstrates precisely the kind of results that can be achieved through a commitment to lean thinking and exceeding customer expectations. I'm confident it will be the first of many for the team.”
