Aviation Week

Aviation Week presents the Integrated Asset Management and Inventory Solutions Forum. September 28 & 29 at Hyatt Regency DFW, DFW Airport, TX. With the total value of the MRO supply chain at $44B or $2.6M per aircraft, optimized inventory management is a major opportunity for the operator to reduce costs and a tremendous growth opportunity for the MRO. More MROs are expanding the scope of their services to support outsourced component management in response to operators looking to offload inventory. This move towards total support services, coupled with decentralizing offshoring trends, is changing the MRO supply chain structure and demanding a higher level of supply chain coordination. This forum will bring together thought leaders from operators, suppliers and MRO to uncover the strategies that will reduce inventory investments while maximize growth and service.
