CHALLENGES

The aircraft manufacturing industry is expected to grow from 4,930 aircraft annually in 2016 to approximately 5,066 in 2025 – totaling over 52,000 aircraft in a ten-year period with a production value of US$2 trillion.

Although this breathtaking growth affords tremendous opportunities for aircraft manufacturers, it also creates numerous challenges. To control costs – especially those related to expensive equipment, parts, and specialized workers – while ensuring customer satisfaction and fulfilling market demand, aircraft manufacturing companies must be able to synchronize and optimize operations across their supply chains.

For aircraft manufacturers, having supply chain efficiency and agility as well as the ability make optimized decisions in the face of unforeseen changes in market demand and procurement, production, and distribution bottlenecks is essential to reaching new heights of operational and financial success.
