Supply chain restructuring at a world leader in aircraft engines and gas turbines to simplify operations and reduce costs.
The four key stages of the programme were:
1) Restructuring and simplification of the supply chain
2) Planning and control overhaul
3) Physical logistics process redesign
4) Assembly parts supply consolidation
Benefits delivered included:
- Alignment of the organisation to the restructured supply chain
- Supply base reduction
- Defined owned 'build packages'
- A reduction in discrete parts managed
This led to inventory and lead time reduction, process and manpower efficiency savings, supply chain inventory savings and packaging and transport savings. |
