Case Study: Global A&D MRO Company achieves $20.4M in annual savings with Maine Pointe

Global A&D MRO Company saves $20.4M annually with Maine Pointe

Maine Pointe was engaged by a global aerospace and defense MRO company to address challenges stemming from its growth through acquisition. The company had a fragmented procurement organization across 14 locations, leading to disaggregated spend, poor supplier management, and a lack of governance. This fragmentation caused cost leakage and hindered growth, prompting the private equity sponsor to seek Maine Pointe's expertise in strategic sourcing and procurement transformation.

Maine Pointe implemented a strategic sourcing initiative using data analytics, AI, and category sourcing strategies. The solution involved unifying the supply base through 34 sourcing events, introducing over 50 new suppliers, and applying a six-step methodology. Maine Pointe's work delivered $20.4 million in annual cost savings, a 90% increase in spend data visibility, and improved organizational clarity through updated role definitions and procurement management operating system training.
