Aerospace & Defense

Advancing complex manufacturing collaboration in the Aerospace & Defense industry

Air framers, tier 1 and tier 2 suppliers face significant pressure to overhaul their global operations and adapt to the ever-evolving landscape of this vibrant industry. Hence, it is inevitable to find innovative approaches to proactively foresee risks throughout the supplier spectrum and safeguard crucial parts, design change control, documentation, and compliance.

Diversifies suppliers

Industry research demonstrates an increasing supplier churn rate. Due to recent volatility in demand combined with supply disruptions, companies need to rethink sourcing strategies, such as dual sourcing or re-shoring. Combined with the evolving economic and political climate this trend is here to stay. In the past two years, 52% of Aerospace companies planned to increase the number of suppliers.

Schedule changes

It starts with winning contracts, but the volatility in supply and demand requires an unprecedented ability to be more agile and make money from these contracts. Both mid and short-term demand is changing constantly, sometimes in different directions. Hence, when two-thirds of the orders change, this can result in high costs, volatile stock levels, and lead times. This requires constant re-alignment.

Supply Chain Visibility

The Aerospace supply chain is truly global. Logistics and transportation are complex, both from a physical and an administrative perspective. Supply chains within the Aerospace industry's top challenge remains full visibility: even though 84% have implemented traceability with their Logistic Service Providers, the real-time visibility on the combined impact of transportation on parts availability is generally only 35%.

Forecast Collaboration

The Forecast Collaboration App allows collaboration between buyers and suppliers on developments in time-phased demand. With this app, both parties have access to the same demand & supply data, can set up and manage a contract-based procurement process, and will be guided by the workflow to efficiently move through changes in the supply plan and the associated capacity checks from the supplier.

Order Collaboration

This app optimizes collaboration around supply contracts including time-phased quantity and price commitments. It also handles the PO processes between buyers and sellers. The full integration with the supplier's ERP system enables smooth data exchange, enables end-to-end monitoring, creates real-time transparency, and can be used to take corrective actions on exceptions that occur at the order line level to ensure timely and efficient (re)planning.
