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.
