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.
You’re in defensive mode, protecting what you have left. Your operation is seeking to survive. There are strategies you’re executing to survive; the most significant is protecting your cash position.
What’s one thing that will save you millions of dollars and months of your time?
Used Serviceable Material (USM).
Without them, you’d throw good money after bad, chase long, complicated lead times and get little OEM support, especially for older aircraft models.
That’s why this post is so crucial for you to read.
It’s a trend that has no foreseeable end, unless particular things happen within the aviation industry, of which, none exist.
The trend is, used serviceable parts are becoming more expensive and scarce.
