Grocery and foodservice supply chain provider McLane Company Inc has received Chick-fil-A’s Partners Award for its Riverside (CA) Distribution Center. The award recognizes exceptional performance from an outstanding supplier.
Nominations are submitted for the award based on service that went above and beyond expectations. Past recipients of this award include Perdue Farms, KanPak, T Marzetti and two other McLane Distribution Center locations: Sumner and Lewisville.
Representatives from McLane Riverside accepted the award during the annual partner’s meeting and awards banquet at Chick-fil-A’s Peach Bowl Challenge at The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee in Greensboro GA recently.
“McLane Riverside was the top performer in the Chick-fil-A Distribution Network for both on-times (97.32%) and fill-rate (99.97%). This steady, exceptional performance is certainly driving high Chick-fil-A operator satisfaction in Southern California,” said Steve Barker, senior director, supply chain operations at Chick-fil-A.
“The Riverside team does a great job for Chick-fil-A operators by providing proactive communication. In 2017, Riverside led all Chick-fil-A distributors with on-time deliveries,” said Jeff Bass, McLane’s director–SC Services and Division Purchasing.
