Proven Success Strategies to Reduce Costs, Leverage Raw Materials and Achieve Lean Operations

Supply chain and procurement professionals have consistently kept their eyes peeled for innovations aimed at streamlining the efficiency of their operations and, due to the oil crisis, that endeavor has never been more paramount than it is right now. Bare-bones cost cutting measures are no longer a luxury, or even an “option” - in today’s climate, they are a necessary mandate to ensure survival.

During this in-depth and engaging day and a half forum, we will highlight the paramount challenges impacting aviation supply chain professionals and share practical and proven real world success strategies for achieving significant cost-reductions and cost-savings.

Walk away with viable strategies and proven processes to:

  • Quantify the economic impact of your supply chain and materials management operations to demonstrate cost-savings
  • Understand how - and why - to implement a Lean approach to supply chain management that will yield quantifiable cost savings and optimal efficiency
  • Streamline and consolidate your logistics to eliminate avoidable costs and charges
  • Deploy RFID and emerging technologies to enhance MRO and optimize asset management and parts tracking
  • Improve collaboration with suppliers to gain greater cost control
  • Leverage procurement shared services to improve cost management
