LP achieved the coveted “A,A” rating in both service and quality. This
is the highest award presented by the homebuilder.
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 nation’s
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 Home’s process is the National Trading
Partner Survey, which was implemented in 2004, and serves as the engine
behind the homebuilder’s 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 homebuilder’s 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.”
LP’s field sales and marketing team works closely with David Weekley
Homes, supplying more than half of the homebuilder’s markets with a
variety of engineered wood products including LP® TechShield® Radiant
Barrier sheathing, LP® TopNotch® Sub-flooring, LP® SmartSide® Trim &
Siding, and LP® SolidStart® Laminated Strand Lumber (LSL).
“Their evaluation process helps us gauge where we excel and where we
need to improve,” Tim Johnson, LP’s national account manager for new
construction, said.
“We share the information with our sales and marketing teams,” Johnson
said. “We all work very hard to provide world class service and quality
to an important customer.”
