Case Study: Honeywell achieves 7x faster lead times with Fictiv Enterprise

How Honeywell Achieves 7x Faster Lead Times With Fictiv Enterprise

Honeywell, a century‑old leader in industrial technology, was constrained by long, complex global supply chains that delayed engineering revisions and new product delivery — in some cases taking months to years and requiring a 22‑week re‑cast for a revised APU component. To speed development, Honeywell partnered with Fictiv and adopted the Fictiv Enterprise digital manufacturing ecosystem.

Fictiv applied its quote‑to‑order platform, design‑for‑manufacturability (DFM) services, and vetted CNC network to optimize and rapidly produce the RE100 APU component. Using Fictiv, Honeywell received quotes in minutes, shifted from casting to CNC machining, and cut lead time from 22 weeks to 3 weeks — a 7x improvement and a major step toward the team’s goal of significantly reduced cycle times.
