The customer, Airbus, faced challenges in ensuring a reliable and efficient supply chain to meet increasing production demands for its aircraft programs. Their procurement operations needed to eradicate disruptions, improve on-time delivery, and drive continuous improvement among its vast network of suppliers.

This new collaborative way of working provided Airbus managers with dashboards for decision-making. The results achieved included a 20% decrease in non-conformities, 94% on-time delivery, and helping 16% of strategic suppliers move out of the critical zone, significantly improving supplier performance and supply chain reliability for Airbus.
