louder...
When a Supplier of
Wood Flour Delivered
Two Pallets More than
Ordered
Plenco Purchasing Manager
Tim Rahm
had been on the job for just a few months
when his colleagues
Terry Sipiorski
in
Accounts Payable and
Bob Rigoulot
in
the Shipping Department discovered
that a wood flour company had made a
mistake on a Plenco delivery and given
us two pallets more than we had ordered,
but had not charged us. Tim immediate-
ly called the supplier and asked that
they bill Plenco for the additional pallets.
Weeks went by without receiving an in-
voice. He called again and an invoice was
sent and paid.
Integrity

decision-making from beginning to end.
