A client of ours has saved $116,093.06 on their first 39 repair orders.
They didn’t wave a magical wand.
We didn’t put a spell on the parts.
Instead, we worked together to look at what they were currently doing and how we could help them optimize their repair results.
They were frustrated with how complicated the repair process was…
Before working with our Dedicated Account and Asset Management teams, they were like most.
The new Purchasing Manager was tasked with reducing total material costs.
They were struggling with what they needed to do. Their Embraer unserviceable aircraft material was slowly piling up in their warehouse.
They were stuck sourcing, processing, and chasing repair orders.
They would send repairs one-by-one to MROs all over the world. They were overwhelmed. They felt like their MRO partners gave them a lack of support.
Frustration was their driving force.
Nothing felt easy.
After several meetings and reviewing their operation, we noticed a few key areas to improve:
They weren’t utilizing their unserviceable assets to their full potential.
They had capital stuck in unserviceable inventory and needed a way to put this money to better use.
They were exchanging and buying components outright too frequently for their operational needs.

This is what we did together to help them save TIME and MONEY
unserviceable aircraft part in for repair
After reviewing the historical data for their unserviceable material, we showed them the total savings they could expect, by utilizing our Asset Repair Care program.
Two benchmarks needed to be achieved. One, they needed to reduce repair cycle times.
The cycle time is calculated from the time the unserviceable units were shipped to the time they got the repaired units back to their facilities.
This was critical. If they could reduce repair cycle times, they could spend less money on safety stock.
Two, they wanted to reduce their total material costs. To do this, we had to look at various steps in their requisition process.
The key areas to improve were:
Processing costs.
Shipping costs.
Repair costs.
To reduce their processing and shipping costs, we consolidated all their unserviceable components to our facility and returned repaired material back to them as few consolidated shipments as possible.
According to them, this approach dramatically reduced processing and shipping costs.
They love having one point of contact.
It helps streamline communication flow.
They believe in having one trusted source who can handle each repair from start to finish, allowing them to focus more efficiently on other areas of their operation.

Consolidating shipments has “saved them tremendously on freight.”
They also value our repair status program; which we assign all dedicated repair accounts.
It’s easy to track, and they know exactly what stage each repair is at within the repair process.
It helps keeps them organized.
To further reduce their total material costs, we systematize how we handle repairs with an intent focus on economies of scale and utilizing our piece part inventory to drive down repair costs.
By utilizing this approach, we’ve helped this regional aircraft operator save time and money.
Within the first year of working tighter, they’ll continue to save hundreds of thousands of dollars and many hours of time.
Not a bad start to a new relationship.
We’re on a mission to deliver all the aircraft maintenance material our clients need --- without the common supply chain frustrations.
Although this is a new partnership, we’ll continue to deliver superior results while giving our clients a WOW experience in the process.
