Reduction of costs through sustainable optimization of logistic processes for an aircraft manufacturer

Initial situation

  • The customer's logistics processes were closely integrated with those of the system logistics provider, creating mutual interest in maintaining the business relationship
  • The root causes of rising costs should be understood by both sides and addressed through collaborative measures
