Carlisle Operating System (COS)


Driving the Industry Forward

We’re leading the way with our Carlisle Operating System (COS).  COS is our standardized methodology using the tools of Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma to drive continuous improvement for both our customers and our business.  It promotes the systems and culture of safety, employee involvement, quality and on-time delivery—all of this with our customer in mind.

The COS methodology is woven into our leadership fabric and everything we do.  This thought process is both supported and driven by our top leadership and ensures the sustainability of our successes with our customers and our business.
