- Lack of control and visibility across the global supply chain.
- Geo-political & geo-environmental issues that affect the flow of goods.
- Heavy dependency on a few suppliers or carriers to deliver parts of goods, which reduces aerospace supply chain resilience.
- Handling & storage of large goods.
- Lack of workers skilled in managing these technical goods.
- Inability to intelligently forecast & meet market demand.
The aeronautical industry is predicted to grow at a CAGR value of 25.5% from 2022 to 2027. To cash in on this growth momentum, it would benefit to partner with a technology-enabled aerospace logistics provider that has a global reach, expertise in your sector, ability to forecast the future trends, and offer the right operational outlook.
- Build & execute a comprehensive & agile aerospace logistics plan.
- Coordinate with a network of suppliers, carriers, and third-party providers of aerospace logistics services.
- Maintaining control over inventory levels and transport flows.
- Create contingency plans to manage the logistics flow in case of disruptions a.
- Regularly analyze logistics performance to adjust the aerospace logistics execution.
In aerospace logistics, there are 3 tiers of suppliers that support aerospace OEMs and the military: Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3. Tier 3 manufactures the basic components that are sent to tier 2 companies that assemble these components into subsystems. From here the subsystems are sent to tier 1 suppliers who build major components or systems that are shipped to the OEMS.
