Boeing expands Used Serviceable Material capability

Boeing expands Used Serviceable Material capability:

10 April, 2019: Boeing is all set to expand its total lifecycle support offerings by managing the entire end-to-end process of its Used Serviceable Material (USM) business. USM offers customers a convenient and cost-efficient alternative to brand-new parts, offering high-quality recertified parts harvested from retired aircraft.

The announcement of the expansion was made at MRO Americas and this capability adds to Boeing's extensive, one-stop-shop supply chain offerings and provides the quality guarantee of working directly with an original equipment manufacturer.

In addition to expanding used serviceable material offerings, Boeing also signed some agreements to provide customers with supply chain solutions:

- Aviation Technical Services (ATS) has signed a three-year contract for multi-commodity spare parts package supporting their maintenance, repair, and overhaul capabilities.

- Eaton Aerospace and Boeing's subsidiary Aviall have signed a multi-year contract in which Aviall will manage an exchange pool of rotables for Eaton's airline customers, and offer around-the-clock support to these customers through Aviall's aircraft on ground team.

- Aviall and Valcor Engineering have signed a multi-year contract which is an exclusive distribution agreement in which Valcor products will be stocked and sold by Aviall. The products consist of an air separation module which extracts nitrogen from ambient air and an enhanced version of this flight-critical component for airlines.
