Case Study: a global top 10 aerospace & defence company gains visibility into critical suppliers with The Smart Cube

Critical supplier assessment delivered better visibility on 20% of total spend for global A&D firm

The Smart Cube was engaged by a global top 10 aerospace and defence company that needed to better understand its key strategic suppliers. The client's supplier relationship team lacked visibility into supplier capabilities, operational risks, and performance, which hindered their ability to develop stronger, more effective partnerships.

The Smart Cube conducted an exhaustive assessment of the suppliers, evaluating factors such as revenue dependencies, investments, and potential risks, including those of Chinese-based suppliers. This in-depth analysis provided the client with extensive visibility over suppliers representing 20% of its total spend, enabling improved partnership management and risk mitigation for future programmes.
