Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) are crucial in the aviation industry. To ensure the safety and effectiveness of flights, the intricate machinery used in the aviation sector needs to be precisely and promptly maintained. However, it has been difficult to achieve cost-effective MRO in the aviation industry, so adopting agile and integrated procurement techniques can help the aviation sector achieve cost-effective MRO.
Historically, the aviation industry has grappled with fragmented MRO procurement processes, limited access to spare parts, and a tendency to rely on long-established supplier relationships. While trust in suppliers is essential, it can sometimes lead to inefficiencies, inflated costs, and a lack of access to a diverse range of spare parts. Three insights can be gained from these experiences.
