CEVA Logistics Named 2008 “Logistics Partner of the Year” and “Transportation Partner of the Year” by Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc.
Houston, Texas, 15 June 2009 - CEVA Logistics, one of the world’s leading supply chain companies, has been recognized as ”Logistics Partner of the Year” and “Transportation Partner of the Year” by Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. (FCPA). For the third year in a row, CEVA has emerged as the most valued supply chain partner for one of the world’s leading suppliers of innovative computer products.
FCPA evaluated the performance of 11 service providers in 14 categories; including cycle time achievement, inventory accuracy and operational efficiency, before recognizing CEVA as the recipient of the Logistics Partner of the Year award. CEVA manages one exclusive use facility in Sacramento and four multi-use logistics facilities on behalf of FCPA in North America.
“CEVA consistently demonstrates the level of performance and personal service necessary to earn this award,” said Glenn Wood, senior director, logistics, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. “Working closely with FCPA, CEVA has taken a holistic approach to managing our supply chain. While these services are transactional, the relationship transcends local boundaries. CEVA and FCPA have clearly developed a true partnership and continue to strive to make all aspects of our relationship mutually beneficial.”
For the Transportation Partner of the Year award, FCPA’s service providers were evaluated in the areas of operational execution, cost reduction initiatives, customer service and technology. CEVA’s performance over the measured period earned the highest score since the inception of the award, surpassing CEVA’s previous highest score in 2009. On May 28, Wood presented CEVA with both awards at CEVA’s Americas Headquarters in Houston, Texas.
“It’s an honor to be recognized as Fujitsu Computer Products of America’s top logistics provider for the third consecutive year,” said Joe Bento, president, CEVA Americas and global freight management. “Glenn and the team at FCPA consistently challenge CEVA to develop innovative solutions to meet the needs of their business. The foundation of our partnership is the willingness to drive mutual excellence. FCPA pushes the limits of capability and CEVA responds to the challenge.”
FCPA and CEVA have continually expanded their transportation and logistics partnership since it began in 2001. Today, CEVA services nearly every segment of Fujitsu’s supply chain, from transportation services including customs brokerage to contract logistics.
