Since 2020, the Supply Chain in the Aerospace, Defense, and Space sectors has been in turmoil, facing unprecedented challenges.

The pandemic, geopolitical tensions, and raw material shortages have destabilized this complex network, highlighting structural weaknesses and the urgent need for strategic redefinition. We are pleased to share our latest insight on this topic. A state of crisis demanding immediate responses and profound changes Demand instability, component shortages, and the complexity of certification processes are just a few of the challenges currently weighing on supply chains. To support your organization through this critical phase, our experts recommend a two-pronged approach:

Short-term solution: Operations stabilization
- Crisis solutions to manage immediate disruptions and prevent delays
- Adjustment of production rates to adapt to demand fluctuations

Medium-term disruptive solution: Strategic modernization
- Automation and optimization of manufacturing processes
- Strengthening collaboration with suppliers to improve supply chain resilience
- Implementation of an “End-to-End” (E2E) planning approach, to enhance transparency and responsiveness
