we were able to attain success due to our efficient creation process.
We are excited to announce the presentations and winners of our regional GNNP competitions. This year, we had 14 presentations, which set a new milestone for our regional competitions!
Each presentation demonstrated a high level of innovation. We were privileged to have 3 judges from Japan, Sakurai-san, Hamaguchi-san, and Kinouchi-san. Additionally, Kevin Hardy, Jeremy Rogers, and Sato Masahiko served as judges from the Nifco America side.

Congratulations to all the presenters, and good luck to the Chihuahua team who will be traveling to Japan in early November to participate in the global competition.

2024 Nifco Quarter 2 Awards!!
WINNERS!
Agility and Innovation Award: Cristian Alejandro Peña and Mariana Sanchez successfully implemented "Brainwriting 6-3-5 sessions" across all departments, significantly enhancing creativity and teamwork for the G-NNP project. Their commitment to fostering a collaborative environment has empowered our teams to generate innovative ideas, strengthened our innovation processes, and contributed to our ongoing success.
Engineering Award: Jonathon Travis thought freely and had the vision to develop a test station for end-of-arm tools (EOAT). The EOAT can now be installed, vacuum-tested, and sensor checked on the test bench. This has helped catch vacuum leaks and worn components and has also aided in setting limit switches correctly. Previously, to test, we had to take the EOAT out to a press that wasn`t running or manually plug and unplug the air lines. Jonathon`s inventive thinking created an efficient and inexpensive replacement.
Leadership Award: Cameron Deeds has effectively led the initiative to gather critical data and information needed for the success of the WMS project. His proactive approach to keeping the group informed and addressing challenges as they arose has been invaluable. Cameron`s dedication to this project has significantly contributed to its progress and success.
Kaizen Award: As a team, David Williamson, Justin Joiner, Chris Wunch, Luz Perez, Tinsley Howard, James Thompson, Chris Scalf, and Yasmin Ibarra worked together to change the Aisin End Caps to a pre-colored material. This eliminated an issue with light color. They removed the risk of a chronic quality concern and reduced material costs.
