Technicians of the 537th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron at Ogden Air Logistics Center in Utah have earned a gold level Shingo Prize for their depot-level maintenance work on the F-16 fighter. The Odgen maintainers join their counterparts at Warner-Robins ALC in Georgia in winning this second highest award for excellence in manufacturing. Last year, one of Ogden’s F-16 product lines earned a silver Shingo. According to Maj. Gen. Kevin Sullivan, Ogden ALC commander, the “complexity of F-16 maintenance and modification work done here makes this achievement that much more impressive.”
