Inventory level optimisation

Both mistakes cost money

Overstock ties up capital and moves parts steadily towards their limits. Understock creates a bottleneck at the worst possible moment, when the aircraft is grounded awaiting a replacement part and the schedule is already tight. Neither mistake announces itself in advance.

Leveraging data to find your optimal inventory levels

By combining your key operational parameters with advanced data analytics, we calculate the precise optimal stock level required for each Part Number (PN). Our calculation incorporates your specific operational inputs, including flight hours, fleet size, flight cycles, unscheduled removals, warehouse storage capacity and your target risk tolerance (service level).

By analysing these variables, we eliminate guesswork and establish tailored inventory buffers. This ensures maximum operational availability for your fleet while preventing overstocking and optimising your capital allocation.

The aim is not to hold less but hold better

Holding less is not a goal in itself. It is to stop buying for a need that never arrives, and to stop finding out that the part is missing.

On a mature fleet the right level moves as the fleet does, so this is a repeated exercise rather than a one-off study.
