Driving Performance Excellence for Aviation MRO Companies

Fostering Performance Excellence in the Aviation MRO Sector

The Defense Aerospace sector is swiftly turning to outsourcing its MRO services, and India is witnessing the most rapid expansion of passenger airline fleets worldwide. Consequently, service providers, including both in-house and third-party MROs, are experiencing heightened demand. For internal technical operations and maintenance functions, efficiently meeting this demand is essential to maintain the required service levels. Third-party MROs have an opportunity to gain market share by enhancing on-time delivery, expanding capabilities, and bolstering cost competitiveness. The establishment of a robust Operational Excellence strategy and execution capabilities will enable MROs to enhance their performance and leverage the industry's growth.

Our Aviation MRO consultants collaborate extensively with MROs throughout their organization to implement critical solutions, including:

1. Implementing operational enhancements aimed at reducing turnaround time and costs. The manufacturing flow within an MRO possesses unique complexities, as exact part and process requirements remain unknown until teardown. We adopt a systemic approach to craft a responsive and agile operating model that encompasses manufacturing, procurement, and material management functions.

2. Sourcing for Performance Excellence, which drives broader value-based decisions to ensure that the supply chain efficiently supports operations with materials at the right place and time. These value-driven decisions foster strong partnerships with the supply base, enabling timely delivery of parts, aligning with the often-short variable lead time requirements typical of MRO operations.
