Features and benefits
Aeropia has a range of clients who outsource all or part of their non-metallic consumables supply chain management.
In the case of one major airline, Aeropia guarantees availability of 500 inventory lines, supports over 2,000 products, and delivers on 28,000 order requests per annum with goods available for collection in 4 working hours with over 99% service levels.
For a major aviation sub-contractor, Aeropia supplies an implant team to inventory check and replenish at the work bench, saving valuable engineering time, as well as managing overall inventory levels and replenishment.
The key to Aeropia’s success in this area is three-fold:
- 5,000 square metres (50,000 square feet) of warehouse space that includes the facility for temperature controlled storage and despatch, and ‘right-sizing’ high cost low usage products.
- An inventory of over 2,000 products worth $5 million
- A clearly defined scoping and discovery protocol, followed by detailed process mapping and modelling.
