Chrysler Group LLC has honored Kansas City Southern de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (KCSM) with its Supplier of the Year award in the Logistics category. The award was presented at Chrysler's third annual Strategy Meeting and Supplier Awards Ceremony on June 5 in Auburn Hills, Mich.

 

“This award is solid validation of Kansas City Southern’s commitment to our customers,” said KCS President and CEO David Starling. “We believe our performance in safety, security and sustainability is second to none. An award like this, coming from a high-performing logistics group like Chrysler, clearly supports that belief.”

Award recipients were determined based on an evaluation of each company’s External Balanced Scorecard performance in 2012 – a rating system that evaluates supplier performance in areas such as quality, delivery, cost, warranty and partnership – and input from Chrysler Group senior leadership.

“KCSM was chosen for the logistics award for providing operational excellence, being a top performer, collaborating in cost-savings initiatives and actively supporting our sustainability initiatives,” said Chrysler Director of Worldwide Logistics and Customs Bill Cook. “Chrysler is pleased to recognize KCSM’s outstanding performance on their logistics scorecard and we thank them for consistently working with Chrysler in a proactive manner.”
