Vari-Form named Supply Chain Management Supplier of the Year by FCA US

Vari-Form, Troy, Mich., has been selected by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) US LLC as 2015 Supply Chain Management Supplier of the Year.

Recent projects include an upper cross member for the 2015 Jeep® Cherokee, which employed proprietary pressure-sequence hydroforming technology. The resulting structure is very lightweight, contributing to a 45 percent increase in fuel efficiency for Cherokee over previous vehicles.

The company was selected for the award based on its high levels of performance as measured by the FCA US external balanced scorecard. All award recipients were evaluated based on each company’s scorecard performance in 2014—a rating system that evaluates supplier performance in areas such as quality, delivery, cost, warranty, and partnership—and input from FCA senior leadership. Vari-Form supply chain management scores ranked first among the nearly 3,600 suppliers measured.
