SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

REDUCE SPEND BY RATIONALIZING

THE SUPPLIER BASE

To reduce global spend, A&D manu-

facturers first need to see it. But with

multiple procurement systems and

a persistent lack of enterprise-wide

purchasing visibility, many initiatives

to control spend and rationalize the

supplier base never get off the ground.

WHAT ANALYSTS

RECOMMEND

A&D manufacturers need to consoli-

date systems to get a handle on spend,

aggregate demand, and negotiate

favorable terms with trusted suppliers.

Then they need a way to enforce con-

tract agreements down to the procure-

ment level to realize the benefits of

negotiated agreements. This requires

business analytics, master data man-

agement, supply chain management,

and supplier relationship management

capabilities.

WHAT SAP OFFERS

Powerful business intelligence and

master data management capabilities,

provided by the SAP NetWeaver™

platform, help A&D manufacturers

analyze spend and consolidate demand.

Sophisticated supplier relationship

management capabilities help close

the loop between sourcing and pro-

curement so that companies can reap

the benefits of negotiated supply

agreements.

EFFECTIVE SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT IS CRITICAL FOR

A&D MANUFACTURERS. TRY THESE STRATEGIES TO HELP YOU SUCCEED

EXTEND PROCESS EFFICIENCY FROM CORPORATE

HEADQUARTERS TO SHOP FLOOR

While enterprise resource planning

(ERP) implementations are common

for managing financials at the corpo-

rate level, little coordination extends

down to the shop floor to manage

schedules and individual subprojects.

This undermines initiatives to boost

productivity and project efficiency.

WHAT ANALYSTS

RECOMMEND

Legacy systems, originally implement-

ed to fulfill company-specific processes

in accordance with an individual inter-

pretation of industry regulations and

requirements, need to be replaced to

implement industry-wide best-practice

processes and to meet customer man-

dates. The immediate issues are a lack

of system connectivity and data access.

Once these issues are addressed, com-

panies can implement more sophisti-

cated project life-cycle management

(PLM) solutions to help them manage

areas such as collaborative design.

This will help improve innovation and

speed time to market.

WHAT SAP OFFERS

SAP offers market-leading ERP and

PLM capabilities that leverage the SAP

NetWeaver platform to extend func-

tionality across the entire enterprise.

Companies benefit from a powerful

exchange infrastructure to facilitate

integration; master data management

to share consistent data across the

enterprise; and a sophisticated portal

that enables uniform, role-based access

to data, applications, and services.

IMPROVE ASSET AND INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

CAPABILITIES

Inaccurate demand forecasting and

supply planning lead to excess inven-

tory and suboptimal use of capital

assets such as plant equipment.

Companies need better inventory

management, especially for spare

parts, to succeed in the aftermarket.

WHAT ANALYSTS

RECOMMEND

Companies should move away from

point solutions and integrate systems

for more robust supply management

activities. This requires supply chain

management and capabilities for parts

tracking and valuation. Customers in

both commercial and defense sectors

are now requiring radio frequency

identification (RFID) devices to sup-

port real-time asset and inventory

tracking processes. This requirement

means that manufacturers must

approach asset management from

a life-cycle cost perspective.

WHAT SAP OFFERS

SAP provides supply chain manage-

ment and business intelligence that

integrate into back-office ERP and

PLM capabilities. This helps companies

improve supply forecasts, reduce

inventory-carrying costs, and even

execute sophisticated processes such as

collaborative inventory replenishment.

PROGRAM MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

8

MOVE FROM EARNED VALUE REPORTING

TO EARNED VALUE MANAGEMENT

“Many contractors view

EVM [earned value manage-

ment] as a regulatory

requirement and fail to take

advantage of its ability to

identify early signs that a

program is falling behind

schedule or running over

budget.”

Bob Parker, AMR

Improving Program Management:

Earned Value Stream Analysis

May 19, 2004

Used mainly by defense contractors to

identify cost and schedule variances,

earned value reporting is often ap-

proached as a governmental reporting

requirement to be fulfilled at the end

of each accounting period. In this

context, variances have time to per-

petuate themselves throughout the

program before they are identified.

Companies need to be more proactive.

WHAT ANALYSTS

RECOMMEND

Earned value management helps com-

panies identify variances in real time

before they disrupt the program.

Stand-alone reporting solutions should

be replaced with a unified system to

coordinate budgets, schedules, prod-

uct development, inventory manage-

ment, and supplier collaboration. In

addition, a wide range of program par-

ticipants need access to data and func-

tionality. This makes usability a critical

success factor.

WHAT SAP OFFERS

SAP offers a powerful project system

backbone that integrates with plan-

ning and execution activities. Where

necessary, SAP NetWeaver can be used

to integrate with legacy project tools.

SAP NetWeaver also provides a flexible

portal environment that provides

user-friendly, role-based access to all

functions connected to the program.

In addition, SAP capabilities for RFID

and auto-ID improve inventory

tracking to meet the U.S. Department

of Defense (DoD) requirements.

THESE STRATEGIES CAN HELP MINIMIZE RISK AND MAXIMIZE

EFFICIENCY FOR THE PROJECT-ORIENTED A&D MANUFACTURING

INDUSTRY

INCREASE COLLABORATION

AND INFORMATION VISIBILITY

In the United States, the DoD’s capa-

bilities-based acquisition initiative

requires greater coordination among

design, production, and testing groups

and supply chain planning and exe-

cution. A&D organizations across the

industry spectrum seek enhanced

integration to speed time to market,

increase productivity, and add value

to the new product development

process. A key feature to enable this

is the visibility of real-time program

management information.

WHAT ANALYSTS

RECOMMEND

A&D manufacturers should prioritize

IT investments to improve informa-

tion flow, increase revenue, and pro-

vide better support to customers.

This requires significant upgrades to

decades-old legacy systems. Require-

ments include sophisticated inventory

management, project life-cycle man-

agement, supplier collaboration, as

well as the master data management

and information exchange capabilities

needed for support.

WHAT SAP OFFERS

SAP delivers powerful collaboration

capabilities to help companies coordi-

nate projects and share information

more efficiently. Inventory data can be

shared and external suppliers can be

incorporated into the product devel-

opment process at the earliest stages.

SPREAD RISK THROUGH DISTRIBUTED

PRODUCT TEAMS

Leading A&D manufacturers are

reducing their financial risk on pro-

grams by establishing a partner network

and outsourcing project elements

that were previously regarded as core

competencies. On the defense side, this

is driven by the adoption of the lead

system integrator model, which man-

dates that contractors allow more sub-

contracting. On the commercial side,

distributed product teams are also

helping to reduce costs, boost produc-

tivity, and enhance process efficiency.

WHAT ANALYSTS

RECOMMEND

To manage distributed product teams,

companies need sophisticated supply

chain management technology to

coordinate the multilevel bid and

delivery process. Companies also need

ways to connect with outsourcing

partners to coordinate activities, track

progress, and ensure quality. Most

companies will need to revamp their

IT infrastructures to streamline the

flow of design and program informa-

tion across teams of external partners.

WHAT SAP OFFERS

SAP helps A&D manufacturers face

internal processes outward to incor-

porate suppliers and improve inter-

action among distributed teams. An

intuitive portal with a customizable

interface ensures usability while

leading-edge collaboration technology

and workflow processes help teams

work together efficiently.

AFTERMARKET MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

INTEGRATE MANUFACTURING

AND MRO

“When done right, aftermar-

ket services can be a lucra-

tive new source of revenue

for [A&D] manufacturers, as

their products generate two

to five times the original

sales price in maintenance

for every ten years of pro-

ductive use. Without effec-

tive information system

support, it can turn into a

disastrous cash flow drain.”

Bob Parker, Marc McCluskey,

Kevin Scott; AMR

“Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul

Software for A&D – A Difficult Transition

to a Service-Based Model”

December 31, 2003

With tremendous intellectual capital

invested in the assets they produce, A&D

manufacturers are moving into main-

tenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO)

and aftermarket services such as spare

parts supply. For defense contractors,

this move is in response to the DoD’s

performance-based logistics mandates.

On the commercial side, this is an

attempt to develop new sources of

revenue in a tight marketplace.

WHAT ANALYSTS

RECOMMEND

To succeed in the aftermarket, A&D

manufacturers need to extend design

and production information for MRO

purposes. This requires improved infor-

mation flow from legacy applications

as well as tighter integration across

functional areas such as materials

management, teardown and overhaul,

work execution, and asset manage-

ment. Administrative and reporting

capabilities to support multinational

operations and integration to financial

software are also required.

WHAT SAP OFFERS

SAP provides a host of capabilities to

support aftermarket services. These

include aircraft maintenance planning

and execution, line maintenance with

an electronic logbook, overhaul plan-

ning and execution, and resource-

related billing. Configuration control

functionality also helps minimize

parts obsolescence while a component

maintenance cockpit helps monitor

all parts removed from an airplane.

11

ANALYSTS RECOMMEND THESE STRATEGIES FOR SEIZING

THE MRO AFTERMARKET

IMPROVE SERVICE LEVELS WITH CUSTOMER

RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES

The A&D aftermarket is a services

market. And with services typically

generating two to five times the rev-

enue of the original sale, forward-

thinking companies are seeking ways

to improve service levels. This requires

a focus on maintaining customer

relationships.

WHAT ANALYSTS

RECOMMEND

To assume a strong customer service

orientation, companies need to over-

haul their installation, repair, and main-

tenance activities to shift revenues

from product sales to services. This

entails far more than Web access to

technical catalogs and parts data.

Companies need sophisticated master

data management as well as forecast-

ing and logistics capabilities to manage

service parts planning and minimize

the problem of parts obsolescence

across multiple inventory locations

and suppliers.

WHAT SAP OFFERS

SAP provides robust customer rela-

tionship management capabilities

that integrate with back-office ERP

and inventory management functions.

Powerful business intelligence, sup-

ported by market-leading master

data management capabilities, helps

improve forecasting while comprehen-

sive parts-management capabilities

help ensure a positive customer

experience.

MOVE TOWARD A LIFE-CYCLE SUPPORT MODEL

A&D manufacturers are increasingly

required to consider support and

maintenance concerns in original

design plans – especially under DoD

initiatives such as network-centric

warfare and performance-based logis-

tics. This requires long-term planning

that takes into account the costs asso-

ciated with an asset over its entire

life cycle.

WHAT ANALYSTS

RECOMMEND

To move toward a life-cycle support

model, A&D manufacturers require

analytical tools to optimize design

and parts-sourcing decisions based on

the finished product’s lifetime costs.

Companies are also moving toward

“predictive maintenance” in which

operational data drives demand for

spare parts by predicting repair and

maintenance requirements. This

reduces asset downtime and lowers

inventory. To achieve these goals,

manufacturers need sophisticated

product development tools that can

integrate mechanical, electronic, and

software design content.

WHAT SAP OFFERS

SAP NetWeaver provides a flexible

platform that facilitates integration

with predictive tools such as Smart

Signal. Integrated line maintenance

capabilities, moreover, support parts

notifications that are triggered by

operational events.

CHANGE IS NEVER EASY

BUT TO STAND STILL IN TODAY’S MARKET IS TO FALL BEHIND

The business processes and information

systems throughout your company

were developed over decades, and many

of them are undoubtedly considered

very entrenched. Reengineering them

to industry-leading practices won’t

happen overnight, and requires

a strong commitment at the highest

levels. This is especially true when it

comes to integrating processes across

departments and divisions.

The good news is that companies that

persevere can expect the following

rewards:

• Better insight into the overall

business

• Streamlining of processes

that have grown overly

complex and inefficient

• Significant reductions in risk

and exposure

• Increased flexibility to

respond to market changes

THE ROAD TO PROGRESS

EMERGING A&D MANUFACTURING MANAGEMENT TRENDS

INCLUDE:

PERFORMANCE-BASED

LOGISTICS

Defense contractors entering the MRO

aftermarket are moving away from

task-and-fee arrangements toward

performance-based agreements that

base payment on the availability of air-

craft. This is fueling the drive toward

optimized parts sourcing, collaborative

inventory replenishment, and life-

cycle support perspectives.

COLLABORATIVE CONTRACT

MANAGEMENT

As programs and product develop-

ment continues to require coopera-

tion between organizations, companies

are looking for ways to manage con-

tracts collaboratively. This requires

enhanced capabilities for exchanging

information, including financial and

project management information.

EMERGING TECHNOLOGY AND TRENDS

In the years ahead, companies in the

A&D manufacturing industry will

become increasingly integrated. This

will enable the coordination of supply

requirements with customers’ MRO

needs as manufacturers move toward

life-cycle support models. It will also

facilitate predictive maintenance

models, as envisioned by DoD’s

network-centric warfare initiative.

As the outsourcing trend continues,

companies will turn to portals to face

internal processes outward to trusted

suppliers, subcontractors, and cus-

tomers. This will facilitate distributed

product teams and help spread pro-

gram risk.

All of this requires a technical infra-

structure that supports master data

management and content consolida-

tion. This will be enabled as legacy sys-

tems are replaced or integrated with

open-standards technology platforms

such as SAP NetWeaver. Eventually,

services-oriented architectures will

emerge that are capable of decoupling

business processes from underlying

systems, allowing these processes to

run across multiple systems in a flexi-

ble manner. Such an architecture

will speed integration, enable business

change, and enhance a company’s

ability to innovate.

WHEN YOU CHOOSE THE RIGHT PARTNER

“Companies using SAP’s

mature supply planning

capabilities enjoy a net profit

that is 75 percent better

than the market average

(14 percent compared to

8 percent). SAP customers

have experienced a 63 per-

cent reduction in inventory-

carrying costs while enjoy-

ing nearly 40 percent lower

inventory days of supply

and 45 percent lower overall

cash-to-cash cycle times.”
