What is the IndustryWeek Best Plants Award?

The IndustryWeek Best Plants Awards program was established in 1990 to recognize North American manufacturing facilities setting standards for competitiveness, performance and culture. Entries are judged by a panel of IndustryWeek and outside experts, evaluating the robust questionnaires completed by applicants containing performance data, insight into quality and management practices, and evidence of improved competitiveness. Editors then visit the finalists as the final step of the judging process.
