Nissan Honours Hayes Lemmerz as Leading Supplier
Hayes Lemmerz International, Inc. has been recognised by Nissan North America as one of its top suppliers in the US. The Hayes Lemmerz automotive steel wheel facility in Sedalia, Missouri received a 2007 Quality Master Certificate in recognition of being among the carmaker’s top suppliers based on quality evaluations from Nissan’s North American Engineering, Manufacturing, Product Quality, Production Control and Purchasing divisions.
The award is based on year-long evaluations of supplier systems, incoming quality, response time, cost reductions capability, design support, timely shipments, product performance and Nissan’s own vehicle evaluation system. Additionally, the Hayes Lemmerz Sedalia Operations and the Company’s automotive brake facility in Apodaca, Mexico were named 2007 Nissan Zero Defects Award winners. The Zero Defects Award is presented to suppliers that ship fewer than three defective parts per million in the course of a year.
