Case Study: International Aerospace Manufacturer frees $80M in working capital and boosts on-time delivery with LeanDNA

Aerospace Manufacturer Drives Change in Working Capital Free Cash Flow by $80M with LeanDNA

International Aerospace Manufacturer, a $6B aerospace company, struggled with simultaneous part shortages and excess inventory that caused late aircraft deliveries, angry customers on site, and cash constraints. Their disparate ERPs produced overwhelming daily action messages with no prioritization or cross-site visibility, so they partnered with LeanDNA and implemented the LeanDNA platform to tackle these issues.

LeanDNA centralized cross‑ERP data, prioritized high‑value inventory actions, standardized reporting, and enabled site-to-site visibility so teams moved from firefighting to proactive inventory management. As a result, LeanDNA helped free $80M in working capital within six months, drove a 16% inventory reduction for the year, and produced a 20%+ improvement in on-time deliveries (branch sites reached over 90% on-time vs prior 70–80%).
