(2017/04/27) Bad Neustadt a. d. Saale/Zweibrücken/Germany. Preh is pleased to announce that it has been named a John Deere Partner-Level Supplier for the 2016 Achieving Excellence Program. The award represents John Deere’s highest supplier rating. Suppliers who participate in the Achieving Excellence program are evaluated annually in several key performance categories, including quality, cost management, delivery, technical support  and  wavelength, which is a measure of responsiveness.

The Award was handed over by Pierre J. Guyot (Vice President, Global Supply Management  and  Logistics Deere  and  Company)  and  Rich Czarnecki (Vice President, Global Supply Management at John Deere Agricultural  and  Turf Division) to Preh managers Charlie Cai (Managing Director Purchasing/Supply Chain Manage-ment/Commercial Vehicles)  and  Jürgen Jungert (Head of Depart-ment Sales  and  Product Management Commercial Vehicles) at the John Deere Supplier Conference 2017 in Zweibrücken/Germany. 

John Deere Supply Management created the program in 1991 to pro-vide a supplier evaluation  and  feedback process that promotes con-tinuous improvement. A supplier’s overall classification is based on the lowest rating received in any single area.

Preh was selected in recognition of its dedication to providing HMI products of outstanding quality as well as its commitment to continu-ous improvement.

John Deere defines their Partner-Level designation as: “a supplier who goes above  and  beyond our performance standards, reaches world-class levels,  and  has a measurable effect on our level of cus-tomer satisfaction.”

Charlie Cai, Preh managing director responsible for the division Commercial Vehicles HMI said: “It is a great honor for us to be named a John Deere Partner-Level Supplier. This confirms that we are defi-nitely on the right track with our smart  and  reliable HMI solutions for rough use conditions.”
