Career
A career in Manufacturing at Honeywell is much more than just making
products. Honeywell looks at Manufacturing as one of four critical components
within our Integrated Supply Chain. The Integrated Supply Chain (ISC)
encompasses all product-related activities from the time a customer places an
order to the time they receive it. Four principles — plan, source, make, and
deliver — support the ISC function. To gain a true understanding of
manufacturing at Honeywell, you need to understand how the four principles work
together. Manufacturing careers at Honeywell also encourages ISC employees to
communicate, collaborate, and use Six Sigma and Lean principles to ensure that
our products are made correctly and efficiently, and are delivered to our
customers on time, every time.
Manufacturing careers at Honeywell allow and encourage employees to
experience all four principles of ISC in order to hone all of the critical
skills required for manufacturing leaders.

A focus within our Transportation System's Turbo Technologies (HTT) in
Manufacturing offers a global experience. With 15 locations that span the
globe, regardless of product or process manufacturing, HTT moves seamlessly
from country to country. With business segments spanning the Americas, Asia

manufacturers.
The automotive industry in general has always valued quality manufacturing,
and the same is true in HTT. With a mission of being the premier provider of
intelligent solutions for engine performance enhancement and emissions
reduction, operational excellence is critical. Whether you are part of a plant
task force looking at improving quality, a commodity manager for iron, or a
manufacturing plant manager, in HTT you are all in the same global Integrated
Supply Chain organization. HTT employees learn from different cultures and
share opportunities across borders.
Despite our size, we pride ourselves on our ability to make decisions

careers in HTT Manufacturing span the four principles of ISC: plan, source,
make, and deliver. In addition, HTT manufacturing careers span the globe. HTT
employees receive exposure to global Supply Chain and Manufacturing careers
that exist in a high-growth, fast-paced environment.
Career Path
Career paths with HTT Manufacturing vary greatly. Employees can choose to
specialize within one discipline of ISC such as operations planning, and
gradually plan for larger and more complex operations. In addition, employees
interested in leadership follow a career path that lets them touch each ISC
pillar. In fact, many career paths in Manufacturing support and encourage
lateral moves that follow the product cycle rather than just upward movement
into the management ranks. Regardless of where you work, or your ISC discipline
in HTT Manufacturing, you are part of a global team that works and shares ideas
across time zones and continents.
For example, a senior leader with a background in Quality and Engineering
joined Honeywell Turbo Technologies in 1995 as a technical operations manager
focused on plant growth management in Atessa, Italy. Two years later, he became
Plant Manager for Atessa, where he spent three years working and learning from
his global peers to make Atessa a successful operation. After learning the
benefit of sharing best practices from country to country, in 2000 he was made
the Operations leader for the Europe, Middle East and Africa region located in
Brussels, Belgium. Presently, his reports span the globe, from France, Italy,
Romania, and Ireland, to Spain, India and the UK, with peers in China and the
United States. His key priorities are to continue to increase productivity
across the region while understanding and meeting customer requirements.
