DO BUSINESS BETTER
Increasingly, original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs), contractors, and suppliers in the aerospace
industry find themselves in a tailspin in an uncertain economic
environment. Given the daunting challenges of growing competition,
escalating energy and raw material costs, fixed-priced contracts, market
unpredictability, and security issues, running a profitable business
has become harder than ever.
To spark greater efficiency, control, and profitability in the face
of skyrocketing costs and complexities, the most successful aerospace
companies recognize the need for a flexible IT infrastructure— one that
helps them develop intimate customer relationships to ensure new or
follow-on contracts and greater market share, while managing their
global supply chain more efficiently and upgrading logistical control
and field maintenance resources.
“We now have a better understanding of inventory and
order demand. Raw material purchasing is improved since we can utilize
economic order quantities and better schedule our orders.” -Charlie Frampton, Director of Operations, Skills Inc.
