Aerospace and Defense

Evolving complexity and increasing demand

Aerospace is a complex and demanding sector, featured by:
  • High complexity system and products deployed;
  • Long life products under strong constraints, very strict requirements of management and traceability
  • Customized products and small series answering to short dead lines and more and more tight costs.
Multiple key points:
  • Guaranteeing a value chain based on the performance measurement, stipulating contracts on measurable committments, improving the integration of the partners over all the functions (planning, supply chain, etc.);
  • Developing partnerships between competitors (reconciling common and divergent interests);
  • Increasing production and supply chain productivity, in order to face strict orders and demanding production timelines;
  • Optimizing more and more complex programme management (tools, etc.)
  • Taking into account the environmental regulations related to noise, pollution and carbon emission.
