To address the manpower challenge, along with several other supply chain obstacles, we, and several of our peers, have emerged to provide comprehensive and customisable solutions. During our market research, and speaking from our pulpit, each provides tailored services that leverage the strengths of their organization, resulting in streamlined supply chain operations—all of which help address the manpower problem.

Strategic Sourcing and Supplier Management

Material sourcing and management is a complicated process that requires a unique set of skills to do effectively and efficiently. By leaning on a supply chain solutions provider, you can effectively put the burden of those unique knowledge sets on a trusted partner—one that can engage in strategic sourcing and effective supplier management to streamline your operations without the demand for more skilled workers.

A consultant can help you select suppliers based on value factors such as quality, delivery reliability, and price. However, it should not just stop at supplier selection. Monitoring supplier performance, backing up for shortfalls and diversifying the supplier base are equally important aspects of supplier management, contributing to the overall efficiency of the supply chain.

Speaking of our methodologies, we select our suppliers based on value factors that have enabled us to establish partnerships with a diversified set of suppliers who offer the best combination of quality, timely delivery, reliability, and competitive pricing. This strategic approach ensures that the materials and services received align with our high standards and requirements.

Efficient Inventory Management

Efficient inventory management is of paramount importance to be competitive in the aviation industry, as it ensures seamless operations and cost-effectiveness. To achieve this, both airlines and MROs need to carefully manage their inventory levels, balancing the need for readily available parts with the avoidance of excessive stock or stockouts.

Of course, maintaining optimal inventory levels is the key to success. Too much and you’ve wasted capital on material that you’ll never use, and not enough and you risk delays in operations. From our perspective, two solutions are needed to optimise material management—effective inventory management software, and routine inventory audits.

Firstly, utilizing inventory management software and implementing just-in-time (JIT) systems allows organizations to have real-time visibility of their inventory, usage patterns, and supplier performance. This enables proactive inventory management, avoiding stockouts and reducing excess inventory.
