Chrysler Group LLC’s Warren Stamping Plant (WSP) has been awarded bronze status for its results in implementing World Class Manufacturing (WCM). The Warren, Mich., stamping plant becomes Chrysler Group’s first stamping plant and the seventh North American facility to achieve the WCM award milestone.
WSP, which has been stamping sheet metal into vehicle body panels for 65 years, received the bronze designation just over four years after adopting the WCM operating system following a two-day audit Oct. 30-31, 2014. Bronze is awarded after earning a minimum of 50 points in 10 technical and 10 managerial pillars by demonstrating clear WCM know-how and competence through employee-conducted pillar presentations and a review of projects that have been expanded across the shop floor. WSP earned a score of 51.
