LP was one of only 17 of the 200 companies participating in David Weekley Homes industry-leading supplier feedback platform to receive the A,A rating.
We are humbled by this honor, LP Specialty Sales and Marketing Vice President Craig Sichling said. To be honored by one of the nations largest builders is a testament to the hard work that LP employees and channel partners put into what they do every day.
At the heart of David Weekley Homes process is the National Trading Partner Survey, which was implemented in 2004, and serves as the engine behind the homebuilders renowned supplier feedback platform.
All companies would like to think of themselves as world-class, said Bill Justus, vice president of supply chain services for David Weekley Homes and chief architect behind the homebuilders supplier evaluation platform.
The challenge is to translate desire into action. Our program will not allow a company to achieve strong results through rhetoric. The only way to excel is through consistently delivering quality products at competitive prices seamlessly into our homes. Our friends at LP have done this for 4 straight years.
