E.I. duPont deNemours - Setting Quality Control Standards for E.I. duPont
deNemours and its Suppliers

Since 1952, this manufacturer of industrial raw materials has partnered with Dixie for worldwide product distribution.

As the industry leader in quality control and safety, duPont demands the highest standards from its suppliers - the strictest performance discipline and documentation of adherence to it. Recognizing our responsibility to not only comply with quality control standards but to help define them, Dixie led the way in developing required duPont system documentation.

"Dixie has been able to supply the quality of services in all the areas duPont requires. As you can imagine, in doing business with a company for over thirty years, duPont has made changes in its focus, and in our objectives. We've even had a change in our vision of what we expect from a logistics operator. Dixie over the years has shown the flexibility to adjust to these changes without any significant problems to duPont and even more importantly without any significant impact on our buying customers."

The result of this kind of responsiveness? An inventory variance of .0000001% on annual throughput of 350 million pounds - Dixie's order-fill rate is unsurpassed virtually anywhere.
