Abstract
Homogenous Metals Incorporated (HMI) is a pioneer in adopting and demonstrating value from United Technology Corporation's (UTC's) ACE operating system. ACE stands for Achieving Competitive Excellence. The first story is what we studied and report on this case: HMI's efforts and their results through 2006. Up through 2006, the graph confirms HMI's steady and consistent improvement progress. The second story is what the figures show beyond the time of our study when economic conditions dropped dramatically. It is less one of continuous improvement, but an adjustment and restructuring based on different market settings.
