Company for IT Success
DALTON (October 11, 2007)—Mohawk Industries has been ranked
in the top 250 most innovative users of information technology in the
nation, according to InformationWeek’s annual study.
The only
flooring company honored, Mohawk was 154th in the standings,
sharing the list with Lowe’s, Dell, Google, Southwest Air Lines, and
General Motors, among others.
Mohawk
has a long history of actively embracing technology to enhance efficiency,
improve customer service, and adapt to changing customer demands. One such
project is Mohawk’s new redundant voice and data network, which keeps a
wide-ranging organization of factories, distribution, and independent
dealers in constant communication. It helps ensure on-time delivery, even
with last minute changes. It lets management make adjustments in production
that save thousands of dollars. The network benefits every step of Mohawk’s
processes.
Each
year, InformationWeek tracks the technology practices of the nation's
most progressive companies. The 20-plus industries surveyed represent such
diversified fields as automotive, biotechnology, telecommunications,
transportation, and manufacturing.
InformationWeek
