Aerospace and Defense Digital Thread

Aerospace supply chain

Take an integrated, model-based approach to aerospace and defense supply chain management. Create visibility across the full value chain to improve collaboration, make informed decisions, minimize risk, and drive resiliency and reliability across your supply chain.

Why focus on aerospace supply chain management?

Aerospace and defense programs can include millions of parts sourced from thousands of suppliers. Without access to accurate data when needed, manufacturers can't make informed sourcing decisions. An aerospace supply chain solution that offers access to current, accurate configuration data enables teams to quickly adjust to changing supply chain dynamics to make intelligent sourcing decisions faster.

Optimize the management of your aerospace supply chain

Gain valuable insights for predictability and resiliency in your aerospace supply chain. Implement solutions that enable secure data exchange up and down the supply chain to consider supplier needs earlier, enable access to market intelligence at the right time and improve reliability.

Create visibility across the entire aerospace value chain early with secure access to all data related to design, requirements and supplies/materials needed to build a product in the context of a comprehensive digital twin. This enables companies to consider supplier needs at the earliest stage of product development to influence request for information (RFI) and request for proposals (RFP) evaluations and responses. Earlier and better collaboration across the value chain improves decision-making and mitigates risk.
