Time to Celebrate!
As noted back in May, Stern Rubber Company recently was awarded the Supplier of the Year award in the Rubber and Plastics from American Valve and Hydrant for 2014. The company won this award for 100% quality and 100% on time delivery.
Also, this spring, Stern Rubber won two awards from Polaris Industries for 2014. The first was an award for Delivery. This is given for the percentage of shipments without a DDR (Delivery Discrepancy Report) being written being greater than 99.5%. A DDR can be written for over/under shipments, late or early shipments, damaged freight, documentation issues, labeling issues, packaging issues, compliance issues, NAFTA issues, not filling out the ASN (advanced shipping notice) correctly, or not following the ASN correctly. Stern Rubber ended the year with 100% delivery!
The second award was for Quality. Polaris gives an “A” Quality Award to companies with a PPM reject rate of less than 100. Polaris gives a “B” Quality award to companies with a PPM reject rate of 101 to 300. Stern Rubber won an “A” Quality Award for a PPM of 45 for 2014!
The company recently held a celebration to say “Thank You!” to all of the employees by cooking a picnic lunch.
These awards are proudly displayed in the new front office at the Staples facility!
