Do you have surplus aircraft part inventory?
This unnecessary buildup occurs when you order inventory in preparation for near term consumption.
When that consumption never occurs. Voila! Surplus inventory builds up.
Here’s the impact that this causes to your operation.
It’s not the price you pay, how business savvy you are, or how excellent your negotiation skills are. This is the MOST IMPORTANT skill you need when purchasing aircraft parts.
Your surplus aircraft material was sitting. Rotting. Wasting away on your shelves.
Slowly eating away at your operational results. Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.
Cash was being sucked down the surplus drain. And the only thing you could do was…
Price. How important is it to you? How often do you try and get the lowest price? I’m sure you’re thinking to yourself, “It’s incredibly important.” and “Every chance I get.” And that’s fair. It’s also common to ask how much something costs. Or to reduce the cost of something. We often use price and cost interchangeably. That’s a mistake.
Discover the essential three-step process to efficiently create a highly effective line maintenance material list, ensuring smoother and more organized line maintenance operations.
In 2019, there's 985 active DHC8 aircraft in the world, with a yearly total component demand of $518,244,375.
That's $526,136.42 of components needed per aircraft per year, or $43,844.70 per month.
How will you reduce your total material costs and the time you spend planning for all this material?
The average Boeing 737 c-check costs $32.18 per flight hour, according to Aviation Week benchmarks.
Keep in mind; there’s a wide cost range between models. Older models are nearly double the costs at $52.82 per flight hour.
With an average annual aircraft utilization of 2,742, the math is simple.
I’ve been fortunate to be a part of hundreds, if not thousands of maintenance check projects.
Over the years, I’ve noticed a trend. During the maintenance project, there’s always panicked emails and phone calls. Half of the calls are for material that should have been pre-planned.
It’s guaranteed. It’ll happen. Maybe even today.
Maintenance teams wait too long to purchase the material they need. So when they do purchase, they’re in a frantic rush.
Do you want things to be easier? Of course, you do. Don't we all. After a recent conversation with a purchasing professional from Air Arabia, she stated it beautifully..."We live and work in the most complex supply chain in the world." And that sums it up. We all get so caught up in the day that we forget to take a step back. To step back and look at the position and area we work in. To work on ways to eliminate redundancy and increase efficiency.
You have problems. Your lead times are long, your costs are increasing, you have no time and to “add the cherry on top”, you’re stressed. These problems are far to common. Yet, most stand by not wanting to make a change. Not wanting to be regain their time. Not wanting to become less stressed. Not wanting to save time and money. Let’s change that…
Let's face it. Simplicity is your ROI. You want things to be easier. Yet, you get pulled in so many directions. It's hard to know which direction you're really going in. And that's where aircraft material kits will be a major advantage to you.
