Do you have surplus aircraft part inventory?
This unnecessary buildup occurs when you order inventory in preparation for near term consumption.
When that consumption never occurs. Voila! Surplus inventory builds up.
Here’s the impact that this causes to your operation.
It’s not the price you pay, how business savvy you are, or how excellent your negotiation skills are. This is the MOST IMPORTANT skill you need when purchasing aircraft parts.
Your surplus aircraft material was sitting. Rotting. Wasting away on your shelves.
Slowly eating away at your operational results. Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.
Cash was being sucked down the surplus drain. And the only thing you could do was…
Price. How important is it to you? How often do you try and get the lowest price? I’m sure you’re thinking to yourself, “It’s incredibly important.” and “Every chance I get.” And that’s fair. It’s also common to ask how much something costs. Or to reduce the cost of something. We often use price and cost interchangeably. That’s a mistake.
All of your success balances on the best type of repair. Overspend and you don't fly, underspend and you have parts falling from the sky.
Neither is a good scenario for you.
So what do you do? You focus a lot of your time and money on asset repairs. The most common repair pricing structures are time & material (T&M) and fixed rate.
Aircraft maintenance is stressful. But who am I kidding, you know this, right?
It's where you spend a large chunk of your operating budget, and where 95% of your stress occurs.
Or maybe not...
