Delphi Receives 2004 Honda Delivery Award

Delphi Corporation (NYSE: DPH) recently received the Honda Delivery Award for its performance in supplying and delivering immobilizers, antennas and telematics to Honda facilities in four cities and two countries. The products are built at the Delphi Electronics & Safety, Delnosa Plant 2, facility located in Reynosa, Mexico. The award was based on the Delphi's delivery performance in 2003. Beth Schwarting, Delphi Electronics & Safety general director of sales and marketing, accepted the award at the Annual Honda North America Supplier Award Conference held recently in Toronto, Canada. "We are excited and honored to receive this great recognition from Honda," said Schwarting. "We are committed to continue to further enhance the value proposition that we provide to our customers." To win a 2004 Honda Delivery Award, suppliers had to achieve perfect delivery and maintain high quality index rankings in the Honda system. Honda requires that suppliers eliminate errors and wasted effort that include miscounts, label errors, untimely deliveries and mixed parts. Delphi uses capacity management between sales, manufacturing and purchasing to meet the Honda requirements. All of these functions focus on effective planning preparation, implementation, evaluation and monitoring of processes. In addition, Delphi has systems flexibility built in to their systems to make adjustments to meet any changes that the customer requests.
