Case Study: Bell achieves 19% lower inventory and 98% parts availability with GAINSSystems

Bell - Customer Case Study

Bell Helicopter, a Bell customer, faced the complex challenge of supply chain planning for MRO operations in aircraft maintenance. They needed to improve inventory efficiency, balance repair and manufacturing demand, and maintain high service levels while meeting military contract requirements.

GAINS implemented its supply chain planning solution for Bell Flight, helping eliminate conflicts between repair and manufacturing part demand, support Military PBL contract compliance, and improve customer service reporting and vendor scorecards. With GAINS, Bell achieved a 19% reduction in active spares inventory investment, an 8% increase in service parts sales, 98% off-the-shelf repair parts availability, and 30% lower handling costs.
