PLEASE DO NOT DIS- CARD THE INFORMATION. All employees with dependent coverage will be required to submit documentation to verify the status of their dependents. What is a dependent insurance audit? A dependent insurance audit is performed to verify the eligibility of our dependents receiving healthcare benefits through D.H. Pace. The audit will be conducted to verify the accuracy of our current records to ensure the company is complying with our fudicial and legal duties. Who will conduct the audit? D.H. Pace has contracted with Lockton Benefit Group to conduct the dependent insurance audit. Lockton is the world’s largest, privately-owned, independence insurance broker. Lockton was founded in Kansas City, Mo., in 1966 and since that time has grown to become the 10th largest insurance brokerage firm in the world.

Teamwork and Code Expertise Help Save $70k Sale! Building Codes — Friend or Foe? Jerry Rice (DHPU), working in conjunction with Erin McGaw (OHD-KC) and Randy Batt (OHD Commercial New Construction Supervisor), was able to use adopted codes to our advantage—and our customer’s advantage—and stave off our competitor’s advances. Great teamwork! Most divisions have someone they can use internally to help with code interpretations, but if you need help with a more complex issue or have done all you can and need a fresh set of eyes on the data, then give Jerry a call. Glad to help! FireCheck ® Well, OHD-Atlanta did it again! They booked some more inspection business with a hospital and also received approval from a repair quote based on the inspection from last year. Kudos to the Entry Door Department team! OHD-Kansas City has some smaller cities adopting the new codes in 2010. Here’s hoping the Fire Marshals put some “teeth” to enforcement. Service Program Reports Kevin Dunn, Mike Henley, Ben Kramer, and Tracie Folscroft (DHP-Corporate) have completed the automated delivery of the monthly Service Program reports. Nice Job! New Survey Software Purchased Because of the importance of feedback from various sources—employees, customers, vendors, and sub-contractors—we have purchased a more “robust” survey software application. This new tool will allow us to pull and integrate data about the customer directly from Baan into the survey software, allowing us to more easily connect all the different factors about the install or service with the survey results. It also has a nice reporting feature set and the ability to do e- mail alerts. Implementation is underway. If you have any questions about Lean Six Sigma, surveys, codes, or have an improvement idea, please e-mail Jerry Rice at jerry.rice@dhpace.com, or call 816-480-2606.
