• Tools: Carrier Excellence tools are methods for managing and improving processes, eliminating waste, identifying and resolving problems, and managing critical decisions and projects.
Digitized Systems in Montluel, France To improve overall productivity, efficiency and quality, we launched a new manufacturing operation management system at our Carrier HVAC factory in Montluel, France. The new, digitized system connects the entire factory through an easily accessible app that tracks orders at every stage – from placement to delivery – and allows for a more accurate understanding of progression. We can now provide customers with real-time updates and have proactive conversations if changes are needed, which is intended to ensure we are successful in meeting or exceeding their expectations on delivery and quality. Implementing this system is expected to result in initial savings of over $1.4M.
