Erik Van Son explains to MRO Management EirTrade's approach to Parts Inventory Management amidst supply-chain pressures
In the January/February edition of MRO Management, EirTrade Aviation Repairs Manager, Erik Van Son, explained to Kevin Rozario how we are tackling supply-chain disruptions with our approach to parts inventory management (PIM).
Van Son explains: “Ongoing issues with the B737 MAX and GTF engines have forced airlines to continue operating legacy aircraft, so the decline in MRO demand for older assets has therefore been significantly lower than the industry originally anticipated.
“This means that MRO facilities which had already reduced inventory levels for older platforms are now required to replenish their stock to meet current demand. At the same time, OEMs are scaling back their supply chain capacity for these assets. This mismatch places considerable pressure on supply chain specialists.”
Despite supply-chain difficulty, EirTrade is committed to continuing to support its airline, operator, and lessor customers. The Company has notes a steady rise in exchange and AOG requests and has responded by expanding its inventory and introducing a 24/7 AOG service.
