As a senior program manager with Honeywell Aerospace since 2017, Chad Kluemper is responsible for a range of activities that the company relies upon for the success of its global operations. Chad Kluemper directs Honeywell’s integrated supply chain division, where he manages a team that handles contract compliance reviews for aerospace suppliers.

An efficient and smooth-running supply chain management system is vital for the operations of any company and especially for firms that have suppliers and customers in different parts of the world. Supply chain management requires raw materials to be sourced and potentially imported from different locations. Once the finished products are manufactured or assembled in designated facilities, they are shipped to warehouses or directly to retail stores and customers.

Supply chain management is becoming more important as globalization accelerates and the world economy becomes more interconnected. A diverse supply chain not only ensures that a company can carry out everyday operations but also allows it to become more innovative and productive through connecting to diverse businesses and communities across the globe.
