| "It was a bonus to be short listed and have a day with the Cranfield and Works Management judges at the factory. The award apart, their judging time and the benchmarking report would have cost at least £10K on a consultancy basis! Getting to the final was a real morale boost."

| Best Factory Awards |
|
| |
| Organised by Works Management in partnership with Cranfield School of Management, The Best Factory Awards (BFA) and Conference bring together the best manufacturers in the business to share best practice and to celebrate their achievements.
Quite simply it's the BEST Factory Awards and Conference. |

|
What sets the BFA apart is the thorough judging criteria - established at the awards' inception in 1992 - based around rigorous site visits by an expert panel of judges. |
| |
|
In short, the judging standards are as rigorous as the judges - led by Dr Marek Szwejczewski of Cranfield School of Management - are eminent. They seek out companies that are relentlessly innovative, environmentally aware and driven to improve quality and performance throughout their organisations. Only the best in the business can win.
