Today, Parts Life, Inc. and DeVal Lifecycle Support CEO Sam Thevanayagam was named a 2026 STEP Ahead Awards Champion by the Manufacturing Institute.

In 2017, Sam acquired DeVal Lifecycle Support, a long-standing HUBZone defense manufacturer in Philadelphia, with a commitment to preserve its workforce and invest in training and opportunity. Since then, the company has grown more than 400 percent while creating high-skilled manufacturing jobs that strengthen the defense industrial base. At DeVal, Sam has applied operational principles known as the Rules of Flow, rooted in the Theory of Constraints, to support the realities of high-mix, low-volume defense manufacturing where thousands of unique parts must move through engineering, sourcing, and production in small quantities. By focusing on system constraints, limiting work in process, and balancing flow across operations, the team improves throughput and reduces lead times while maintaining reliability for complex sustainment programs. His leadership emphasizes workforce development, continuous learning, and empowering employees to solve problems in real time while supporting the mission of the U.S. warfighter and taxpayer.

We are proud to recognize and uplift . Join us in congratulating Thevanayagam on this well-deserved honor.
