Blind Ambitions Honored With the Nationally Acclaimed "Partners of Choice" Award From David Weekley Homes
CLEVELAND, Tenn., Aug. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Blind Ambitions has been selected as only one of 17 companies to receive the nationally acclaimed A,A Partners of Choice Award from David Weekley Homes, earning an "A" ranking in both Quality and Service.
David Weekley Homes, the nation's largest privately-held home builder, implemented its comprehensive supplier evaluation platform and symbol for world-class excellence, the Partners of Choice Award in 2004. The unique evaluation platform allows David Weekley Homes to analyze supplier performance in diverse industries, provide feedback, and recognize those truly outstanding achievers through its coveted "Partners of Choice" Award. Under this process the homebuilder challenges both itself and its suppliers to operate at world-class levels. Team members are initially asked to rate each supplier's performance on Quality and Service. Then through a series of discussions, meetings and coaching calls, David Weekley Homes and its suppliers search for the best way to achieve excellence together. This process allows David Weekley Homes to take "partnering with its suppliers" to world-class levels. In essence, the homebuilder "walks the walk," with its partners.
Bill Justus, vice president of Supply Chain Services for David Weekley Homes, implemented the innovative evaluation platform in order to reduce channel costs, improve service, and thus enable the homebuilder to achieve its "Purpose of Building Dreams, Enhancing Lives."
"This marks the third straight year in which Blind Ambitions, a window coverings installer, has demonstrated itself to be a world-class provider by achieving our A,A Partners of Choice Award," said Bill Justus vice president of supply chain services for David Weekley Homes, and chief architect of the homebuilder's evaluation system. "Our friends at Blind Ambitions accomplished this remarkable feat by scoring within the top 8% of 200 participating companies, as evidenced by approximately 3,000 rating opportunities. This was done by successfully managing thousands of installation, administrative, and billing transactions. The length, breadth, and rigor of our evaluation platform means there are no short cuts to success. Only a partner dedicated to world-class excellence will ever achieve our award."
"Blind Ambitions is extremely proud to be by David Weekley Homes for the third straight year," said Eric Andrews, president of Blind Ambitions. "Our valued partnership with David Weekley Homes, along with its evaluation program, remain a top driver for our customer service standards. By our staff performing at a level that puts us in consideration for this Partner of Choice Award, it benefits all our customers across the board, as our service levels don't fluctuate between customers. It's an honor to receive this recognition from a builder dedicated to such high standards."
