Mack Trucks, Inc., Gives Modine a Perfect Score for Delivery Performance

    McHENRY, Ill.--March 5, 2001--Modine Manufacturing Company's plant here has been recertified by Mack Trucks, Inc., for delivery performance, achieving a "perfect" score. "Mack's Supplier Delivery Certification program is very strict, and McHenry is very proud, not only to have achieved recertification in 2000, but also to have improved our score this year," said Sam Sarsalari, plant manager. "The McHenry plant has gone from excellence to perfection in delivery, which is a wonderful thing. The credit goes to our employees, who have done a great job," he added.
    "Mack is pleased to present Modine with its Supplier Delivery Recertification," said Andrew Lukoff, Manager, Logistics/Flow, at Mack's Allentown, Pa., headquarters. "Of the hundreds of companies that are suppliers to Mack, only about 25 have been certified for delivery performance to date, and only a few of those 25 have ever received a perfect score upon recertification," he added. Mack evaluated Modine's McHenry plant on a daily basis for an initial three-month time period in 1999 and for an annual one-month period starting in 2000. Modine was rated on the number and percentage of past-due parts; number of expediting activities required by Mack; impact on production; early and late shipments; random quality audits; and electronic data interchange capabilities.

    Modine's McHenry, Ill., plant provides Mack with serpentine air-conditioning condensers for use on trucks assembled in Macungie, Pa. The McHenry plant was established in 1961 and employs 175 people. Modine has been a supplier to Mack since 1973.
