Trying to figure out why does the OPEX team get credit for moving around numbers?! The VP had to acknowledge the Project Managers! They’re the ones doing the real work, pulling in parts and talking/visiting suppliers. Why get recognized for looking at numbers , and adjusting numbers! They don’t talk with suppliers or help fix engineering issues like the Project Engineers. Can’t look at numbers without the PMs helping to expedite/resolve transitions being babysat from the supplier into multiple plants first! Weird stuff! SMH!

Net 90 that’s really Net 120 has any supplier baking that into their Honeywell pricing which in reality has a higher cost position. Turns on cash is impacted and then the business asset has to be divested.
They need supplier readiness to onboard new suppliers and create multiple transitions, because Honeywell doesn’t like to pay their suppliers, then the suppliers de-commit, and stop doing business with Honeywell. Supplier does work, ready to ship, then Honeywell deletes purchase orders and say not now because we need this available money to make investors happy first, not the customer! SMH!
Supplier Readiness is a joke. After so many years, the supply chain is still broken with no real end in sight when it will ever recover. Or, probably those teams in SRT are just preserving their jobs for if it ever does recover, the whole team will be left without a job.
Anyway, seen and know their MO. Call supplier daily and nightly as means of improving their output which is all. Nothing real strategic about what they really do. Its like hassling the suppliers till they comply
Supplier readiness is a joke. No ground game. Where are the engineers, quality, and logistics people that sit at the supplier and make sure handoffs are smooth? This is how every other company gets it done. I came from Johnson controls during the pandemic and Honeywell is amateur hour compared to them.
