✈️ Shifting Winds in Aviation! In an industry where prompt service and quick turnover are key, delays in the maintenance supply chain can be detrimental. But the ever-evolving aviation sector has proven once again that it can turn challenges into opportunities through creative sourcing strategies. ✈️ According to data, there's been a worrying increase in lead times for aircraft component suppliers, with one wheel and brake components provider going from an average lead time of 38 days in 2019 to a peak of 146 days in 2022. Yet, by December 2023, this was efficiently brought down to around 49 days. ✈️ This increase in lead times has naturally sparked a conversation in the airlines sector on how components are distributed. Are they reserved for brand new aircraft or maintenance of in-service fleets? Turns out, it's a strategic game. "One airline reported that manufacturers are strategically reserving components to enable companies to prioritize supplying parts for new aircraft or for maintenance as needed." - says the report. However, ordering parts after the aircraft have been taken out of service can increase the time it takes to complete maintenance. Yet, challenges only foster innovation right? The aviation industry is now turning to novel approaches for sourcing strategies, demonstrating creativity where we least expect it - within the supply chain! For more on how the aviation industry is adapting to these challenges, check out the full article at the link below. https://lnkd.in/eP4DFDmC #Aviation #SupplyChain #Innovation #StrategicSourcing #AviationMaintenance

In the midst of roaring engines and the coordinated bustle of ground crews, the aeronautical supply chain reveals its complex symphony. Today, let's dive straight into the core concepts that fuel success in aviation: 1️⃣ Supply Chain Synergy: Think of it as the art of orchestration. Align your suppliers, logistics, and procurement seamlessly. Is your supply chain a harmonious symphony, or a discordant cacophony? 2️⃣ Logistics Mastery: In aviation, every second counts. Are your logistics operations finely tuned to meet the relentless demands of the industry? 3️⃣ Procurement Excellence: It's more than just sourcing; it's about getting the right parts at the right cost. Are your procurement strategies optimized for maximum efficiency? 4️⃣ Purchasing Precision: Every purchase decision matters. Does your purchasing process contribute to the reliability and cost-effectiveness of your operations? 5️⃣ Strategic Sourcing: Beyond buying, it's about nurturing supplier relationships that align with your mission. Are you strategically sourcing to secure your future? In the aviation world, precision is paramount, and these five concepts are the building blocks of a successful journey. The runway is clear; it's time for your operations to take off with confidence. ✈️ Among these concepts, which one do you find most challenging to implement in your aeronautical operations, and why? #aircraftmaintenance #aviationmaintenance #aviationindustry

Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) are the backbone of aviation safety and effectiveness. But, achieving cost-effective MRO in the aviation industry has been a challenge due to fragmented MRO procurement processes, limited access to spare parts, and long-standing supplier relationships. To resolve these challenges Locatory.com, a subsidiary of Avia Solutions Group, which is at the forefront of driving cost-effective MRO recommends:  -       a unified dashboard collecting data from diverse sources keep up-to-the-minute information on spare part availability; -       agile procurement platforms with user-friendly interfaces and effective search tools to boost response times and operational agility; -       and encouraging competition to reduce costs without compromising quality.   🔑 The Power of Agile and Integrated Procurement in Aviation is transformative. It enhances efficiency, saves costs, and boosts competitiveness. Integrated procurement solutions provide a seamless flow of information, enabling informed decisions and faster MRO processes.   Safety and profitability are non-negotiables in aviation. Agile and integrated procurement strategies ensure MRO operations meet industry standards while keeping costs in check.  ✈️   #AviationMRO #ProcurementExcellence #CostEffectiveMRO #AgileProcurement #Locatory.com

The supply chain has not recovered. From our point of view, it wasn't robust before Covid, and the effect of shutdowns, furloughs, layoffs, and retirements exacerbated the situation. So, be open to PMA parts. Be open to DER developed repairs. Partner with suppliers down two to three levels. Balancing capacity and inventories needs to be done with a realistic point of view and a sharing of costs. #smithaerospace Aviation Week Network #mro #supplierperformance #airlines #supplychain #pma #derrepairs #deming #costsharing #inventory #capacity #covid https://lnkd.in/enWsV3yN
