All the suppliers are assessed on quality control, cost, service, supply chain management, sustainable development and social responsibility. The assessment criteria are benchmarked against global standards including Six-sigma Quality, Lean Production, Material Best Business Practices and Johnson Controls Manufacturing System. The last five years saw the score of Johnson Controls suppliers improve by some 14 percent. The continuous improvement will benefit customers not just in China and Asia but also rest of the world.

Asia continues to be one of the major growth markets for Johnson Controls and the company has demonstrated its commitment to the region with the announcement of its new corporate headquarters to be located in Shanghai, China. The campus is expected to open in 2017.
