Trends in the aviation industry
State-of-the-art technology in the aviation industry with Bross
Production and logistics in the aviation industry
The trends in the aerospace industry are characterised by the consolidation of aerospace companies. To better manage the complexity of their market and achieve economies of scale, more aerospace companies are merging and/or partnering with each other. In addition to accurate forecasting, companies need to develop highly efficient global supply chains supported by reliable logistics partners. Aerospace companies rely heavily on air freight services for their supply chains due to the small size of their production batches and the high value of spare parts. Bross supports its customers in the aerospace sector in reorganising and optimising their supply chain and their suppliers and distribution partners in meeting the changing requirements resulting from the digitalisation of value creation, structural change and cost pressure.
Current trends in the aviation industry
Logistics service provider
Compared to the automotive industry, the aerospace industry has been outsourcing its supply chain to competent third parties for decades. This is one of the trends in the aerospace industry that will continue. However, due to the stringent requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other bodies, the aerospace industry has been slower to embrace the outsourcing trend. This approach is changing as more companies adopt outsourcing strategies that allow them to focus on their core competencies.
Cost pressure and competition
Arguably one of the most serious trends in the aviation industry is cost pressure. To remain competitive, aerospace companies need to take a close look at their inventory costs and remain competitive and profitable, which requires highly efficient operations that not only deliver new aircraft on time, but also minimise the high cost of aerospace-related inventory.
MRO with simulated data
The future of maintenance will be based on simulation. The future of maintenance will be based on simulation. The MRO market is constantly growing due to the increasing number of aircraft and their complexity. Currently, airline budgets are exhausted by unexpected maintenance work. By scheduling maintenance cycles to avoid malfunctions, engineers can minimise the costs associated with grounding. As a result, the current generation of aircraft can generate much more data than previous generations.
