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.
You’re in defensive mode, protecting what you have left. Your operation is seeking to survive. There are strategies you’re executing to survive; the most significant is protecting your cash position.
It's a difficult time, but in these times we can learn incredible lessons. Don't be a bystander to problems. Learn from them, grow, and become stronger. Here's how.
One area that deserves attention is your surplus aircraft part inventory. The real cost of carrying inventory is much more than your initial purchase price.
Now’s a great time to reimagine everything you once did. One of the most significant areas that deserve your attention is your current aircraft material partners.
Companies are making hard decisions to survive. They're taking a near term approach, so they don't go bankrupt. Surviving is on all business executives' top list. How one company survives may cause another to close its doors. It's never an all or nothing approach to survival…besides; cash is king.
Have you ever tried juggling the various demands of aircraft c-check? You secretly whisper yes while you think of the dreadful memories. The good news is you're not alone. I worked with an aircraft maintenance customer who seemed to be living large under the umbrella of a large commercial airline. With various Phds on staff to fine-tune their forecasting methods, things seemed under control, until... Budgets began tightening.
Request For Quotes (RFQs) are a necessary evil. When I was speaking to an operator in South Africa, he explained to me how overwhelming his days were. He processed hundreds of RFQ line items every day. His team sent their RFQs to over one hundred people on an email list. I could hear the frustration in his voice.
A WOW experience develops trust.
There's a saying that everyone hates being sold to, but everyone loves buying.
The problem with being sold too — it's often with selfish intent. There's no value exchange.
