In this article, we are going to look at this process in detail and outline the benefits of an alternative option—a single-source vendor that handles material management and delivery of maintenance parts that are tailored specifically to your airline's needs.

So, let’s start with the assessment.

Is multi-vendor procurement affecting your operations?

Obviously, the answer to this question is “no.” However, in some situations, we might want to consider it a “maybe.” Let’s explain.

With the procurement of routine maintenance parts, working with a list of different vendors to procure those parts isn’t the most efficient way of doing things. Now obviously, when working with machines with millions of parts, there is going to need to be extensive coordination and communication, but any opportunity to streamline those processes can be seen as a welcome benefit. Often coordinating and managing various procurement channels becomes a time-consuming and complex task, often leading to challenges when dealing with different suppliers, potentially causing delays and disruptions in the maintenance workflow.

In contrast, for something as routine as an A-check, Working with a single service provider offers a solution to streamline processes, reduce vendor management, simplify inventory management, and save time and effort.

We cover this in more detail in Efficiency and Reliability: How Trustworthy Service Providers Transform A-Check Operations.

When More is Needed Than Just Routine Maintenance

If you have ever walked a mile in an operation manager’s life, then you’ll be familiar with the experience of coordinating specific aircraft repairs during the same time as an A-check. It just makes sense, from an operational perspective.
