Brousell said, \u201cNow more than ever, manufacturers must accelerate and expand innovation and the delivery of customer value while continuing to embrace core principles of quality and operational excellence,\u201d which is exactly what Bridge Publications has done.<\/p>\nBridge takes home the honors this year in the category \u201cSupply Chain Leadership,\u201d awarded to companies that adopt innovative technology to speed manufacture and delivery of their product.<\/p>\nAs the sole publisher of\u00a0<a style=\"color: #07689b;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.prweb.net\/Redirect.aspx?id=aHR0cDovL2JpdC5seS8wNDA0cHJ3Mg==\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\">Scientology Scripture<\/a>\u2014books and recorded lectures of L. Ron Hubbard\u2014for the Americas, Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Oceania, Bridge has efficiency down to a science.<\/p>\nIn applying for the award, Bridge described the challenge of ensuring that each of the 12,000 individual items they stock are readily available for delivery to Scientology Churches and Missions and direct to individuals around the globe.<\/p>\nAs described in the video \u201cBringing Scientology to the World\u201d on the\u00a0<a style=\"color: #07689b;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.prweb.net\/Redirect.aspx?id=aHR0cDovL2JpdC5seS8wNDA0cHJ3\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\">Scientology website<\/a>\u00a0and the YouTube Scientology channel, all raw materials are purchased directly from their source in bulk\u2014minimum stocks of 20 tons of polycarbonate pellets to manufacture CDs and 3,500 miles of paper, because quantity equals purchasing power so material costs are rock bottom.<\/p>\nBridge is 100 percent digital. Every component on the line is computerized, making it possible to select a digital file for any book, push a button, and the presses roll. Consequently, it costs exactly the same to print a copy of Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health in English as in Bengali, Farsi, Swahili or Urdu. So, whether it is producing 100 copies or 100,000, the per-book cost remains the same.<\/p>\nBut quality is just as important to Bridge as efficiency, and the bookbinding line, for example, ensures the production of hardcover books that last a lifetime, with every dust jacket is overlaid with plastic laminate making them literally waterproofed for durability.<\/p>\nIn the shipping department, the computer calculates the most economical method of shipping and prints the appropriate label, whether FedEx, UPS or any other carrier. Boxes are weighed at checkpoints along the line and if the weight doesn\u2019t match what the order should contain, the computer automatically routes it for handling.<\/p>\nSince the inception of this in-house printing facility in 2006, Bridge has produced more than 18 million items including hardcover, softcover and leatherbound books, lecture binder sets, and books on film.<\/p>\nEstablished in 1981 in Los Angeles, California, Bridge Publications publishes the religious works of bestselling author and\u00a0<a style=\"color: #07689b;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.prweb.net\/Redirect.aspx?id=aHR0cDovL2JpdC5seS8wNDA0cHJ3MQ==\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\">Scientology Founder L.
