has assisted many Fortune 500 companies with design and engineering. Supply chain and logistics Jabil provides supply chain and logistic services. These services include electronic sourcing, virtual/vertical mechanics, logistics, supply chain management, advanced planning, quality, standardized global systems, supply chain solutions, and business analytics. The company's supply chain and logistics management were seen during Japan's 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. When supply chain disruption occurred, Jabil re-routed supply from alternative sources, allocated limited production to key customers and distributors, specify and quality alternative parts, and called on existing suppliers to help reduce the impact of the disruptions. Jabil was able to do the same during the 2010 and 2011 Thailand floods. Company culture Jabil's company culture uses the concept of lean manufacturing. In September 2011, Jabil hosted 14,000 Kaizen Blitz events. Kaizen is a Japanese term for improvement, and Kaizen events focus on projects that aim to improve processes. Many of Jabil's senior leaders are currently undergoing or have already achieved Six Sigma Black Belt Certification (a Jack Welch principle). Jabil also holds an annual improvement competition known as "Deliver Best Practices." This is a company-wide (and worldwide) competition to recognize, support, and promote process advancements within the company. Employee teams enter innovative and cost-saving projects into the Deliver Best Practices competition. After several rounds, the top twenty-four projects from the global teams win a trip to Jabil's corporate offices and present their projects to company executives in person. One project in four different categories is chosen, and the team receives a $10,000 prize. Social and environmental responsibility Jabil is involved in both social and environmental responsibility. Jabil employs a director of social and environmental responsibility as part of their company who also serves on the board of directors for the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition. Jabil is also involved with a charity and non-profit organizations outside of the Tampa / St. Petersburg area. They are a donor for the Guadalajara Los Pinos Boys Shelter in Los Pinos, Mexico.
