By Staff -- Modern Materials Handling, 1/1/2009

Modern's annual Productivity Achievement Awards honor companies that have made outstanding strides in improving operations through materials handling and related information systems. Modern's editorial advisory board chose this year's winners from a dozen candidates.

Companies were judged for their ability to deliver top-level customer service, respond rapidly to changing conditions, deliver orders that meet customer requirements, and improve operations. In addition, the innovation award celebrates a facility that employed a solution that defies convention. The Modern Thinker celebrates an individual who puts materials handling in a broader business context.

This year's winners are:

Warehousing/Distribution: IKEA 

Manufacturing: Detroit Diesel
