Vous êtes confronté à des retards dans la réception de composants aérospatiaux cruciaux. Comment pouvez-vous minimiser l’impact financier ?

Critical components should have pre-qualified redundant supply channels to ensure supply. The aforementioned are best practices toward mitigation, but mitigation reduces risk versus solving the critical shortage. Redundancy offers a solution whereas risk mitigation moves the needle on risk and post-shortage plannning.

Providing alternate supply options which are pre-qualified and meet spec’s as well as stocking high risk critical components is a prudent backstop to supply disruptions. Regarding the stock supply option, it is critical to understand the potential degradation of any material components with respect to environmental storage considerations such as light/temp/humidity/airborne contamination, etc.

Supplier relationships is all about working closely and maintaining the contacts you have and have form relationships with over the years. If you are new coming into the business find a mentor that can help you with contacts and ways to work very closely with your suppliers be honest, and stay in concert contact with them on their supply.

Supplier managed inventories for critical components tied to contractual obligations/penalties/rewards to maintain continuity of supply of critical components is one effective method to shift responsibility to the supplier. Penalties and rewards will force close attention to maintaining continuity of supply.

Contract management is a fine balance between working together and against one another. Clauses are good for defining the boundaries but applying human logic is where you'll earn your value. If you supplier trusts you, and you them, then you'll find them to be open and transparent more often. Equally where delays are encountered an offering of support to help resolve can be mutually beneficial. Consultants and contractor resource can be of great benefit in this realm. Deployed quickly at relative low cost and can see fast results due to expertise. You should avoid at all costs unnecessarily 'punishing' suppliers who have their own challenges you may not be aware of - they are managing a supply chain of their own also don't forget.
