Case Studies

Supply Chain & Industrial Strategy

Aircraft final assembly line and its Tier 1 suppliers

70 to 80% reduction in processing time.

Schedule risk identified in 15 minutes, not days or weeks

The problem

A final assembly line and its Tier 1 suppliers had no shared view of pre-flight schedule risk. Five departments each held part of the picture and reconciled it by hand.

The approach

Diagnosed where the bottleneck actually sat across Procurement, Line Logistics, Methods Engineering, Quality and Operations, defined a single data model every department could work from, and oversaw delivery of the automation on top of it.

Anonymised at the client's request: the sector and the scale are described, the name is withheld.
