Design Competition Excellence Award |
| |
Humble, Texas, July 14,2006 -
Advanced International Services (AIS) announces receipt of the
Design Competition Excellence Award from the National
Institute of Packaging, Handling and Logistics Engineers (NIPHLE).
The award was presented to Don Marks (Packaging Specialist) for
Advanced International Services' involvement in the design and
production of Long Life Reusable Containers for Low Signature
Armored Cabs (LSAC) built by Stewart & Stevenson Tactical
Vehicle Systems in Sealy, Texas. AIS Personnel, the Packaging
Group at Stewart & Stevenson, and the Packaging Group at the
U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) in
Warren, MI. worked as a team to put this superior package
together.
The container was used for shipment of the LSAC Cab to Kuwait,
Iraq and Afghanistan for retro-fit on 5 ton trucks manufactured
by Stewart & Stevenson. The standard cabs removed from the
trucks were then secured in the container for shipment back to
the U.S. for storage.
After a full on site review of the LASC Reusable Container
Design in Kuwait, be Representatives from U.S. Army Material
Command Logistics Support Activity, Packaging, Storage and
Containeriszation Center, Tobyhanna, Pa, the following is the
final statement in their report:
"After a review of the process, it was determined that the
repackaging process was perfect for the application. By
originally designing the container to be reusable, the
contractor was able to very easily ship the old cabs home and a
minimum in labor and material cost. This is an outstanding
example of reusable packaging at work."
Advanced International Services (AIS) is a Logistics Company
located in Humble, Texas.
The Staff at AIS have a combined experience in Military
Preservation and Packaging of over 86 years and have been in the
Freight Forwarding and Export Packing Business for 37 years. |
