he HOS was highlighted by Lysons “Where such integration is not achieved, the result will be waste, conflict and low productivity, or sub-optimization….”
 
Honeywell uses Six Sigma methodologies to achieve ‘Fitness for Purpose’ -a phrase originally coined by Joseph Juran in the context of quality. Lysons describes the emphasis Juran was making towards quality as ‘….linked to product satisfaction and dissatisfaction to deficiencies or defects in a product or service’.
 
Value is driven through the application of lean methodologies described as a chain of activities or processes that add value to a product and those that do not (the latter therefore is waste) or as ‘something that the customer would be prepared to pay for if they were aware of its existence’. As pointed out by Greenhalgh ‘Getting rid of the activities that don’t add value gives you a lean manufacturing or service delivery process - and also a lean organization’.
 
According to Lysons supply chains and value chains are synonymous “A linear map of the way in which value is added by means of a process from raw materials to finished product (including service after delivery)”. The role suppliers take in Value and Fitness for Purpose is summed up in Honeywell’s ethical policy - Code of Business Conduct “Honeywell’s suppliers are our partners in Six Sigma Plus. The high caliber of the materials, goods and services they provide is linked directly to the quality, reliability, value and prompt delivery of the Company’s products and thus to our satisfaction”
 
V. Honeywell Code of Business Conduct
 
a. Overview
 
The Honeywell code of business conduct is a 36 page document published on the companies corporate website. A corporate guide to employees and any one else that may enter into a commercial relationship (who must read and agree to abide by its contents) with the organization, it is a set of rules and guidelines on Honeywell’s approach to doing business.
 
This is made very clear in Section 1 - Implementation where it is stated ‘….all directors, officers and employees and all representatives, including all agents, consultants, independent contractors and suppliers of Honeywell, are responsible for complying with all applicable laws and regulations in each country in which the company does business and for knowing this code of conduct and other policies of the company…’. It goes on to state ‘…Violations of law or this code or other policies of the company are subject to discipline, which may include termination. Business units are responsible for ensuring that their policies and practices are consistent with this Code.’
 
b. Relevant areas of the code to Suppliers
 
The text of the code does in some cases provide guidance and in others be very specific around the do’s and don’ts of doing business as either an employee or in one of the many capacities of a third party mentioned above.
 
From a supply chain stand point, the following areas are of some relevance and should be considered for further analysis in context of their potential impact on the supplier;
