Keurig's 2015 Supplier of the Year award was presented to WestRock, a leading global packaging company that has worked with Keurig since 2007. In 2015, WestRock partnered with Keurig to pioneer the launch of a Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) program which resulted in superior flexibility, improved service, and significant cost reductions. WestRock has physically embedded Six Sigma black belt resources in several Keurig production facilities to help support the VMI program, optimize the supply chain, and drive immediate responses on service and quality.
