Calix Executive Roger Weingarth Recognized by Supply & Demand Chain Executive
SVP of Product and Manufacturing Operations Named to Publication's Annual List of "Practitioner Pros to Know"
MARCH 20, 2007, PETALUMA, CA—Calix, the largest telecom solution supplier focused solely on access, today announced that senior vice president of Product and Manufacturing Operations Roger Weingarth was named one of Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine's Practitioner Pros to Know in its February/March issue. Other recipients of this prestigious annual award include senior executives from Cisco, ExxonMobil, FedEx, IBM, and Sun Microsystems.
Weingarth was selected to receive this honor as a result of the implementation and refinement of an extremely efficient, globally distributed production system closely coupled with Flextronics. This system provides Calix customers with very short lead times while maintaining high product quality standards and minimizing cost.
"This honor is a testament to the hard work and dedication of many professionals within Calix and Flextronics," said Weingarth. "Together, we've built a strong partnership that directly benefits the 400+ customers of Calix. Our relationship has allowed Calix to build, test, and deliver products to our customers more rapidly and with greater efficiency."
This year Supply & Demand Chain Executive is recognizing 22 Practitioner Pros to Know. These exceptional corporate executives are driving transformation initiatives and achieving the bottom-line successes that are helping the supply chain earn recognition as a strategic business asset.
"By turning the spotlight on these outstanding Practitioner Pros to Know, we are not only recognizing their accomplishments but also offering them as role models for other executives looking to take their own organizations to a higher, more strategic level within the enterprise," said Andrew K. Reese, editor of Supply & Demand Chain Executive. "They are all truly 'Pros to Know.'"
