Plexus Planning has announced its capabilities to manage risk in complex aerospace and defence supply chains, by providing a complete view of the supply chain network to enable a rapid assessment of the impact of downstream disturbances.
With up to 80% of the content of a major aerospace project produced by third party suppliers, who may be located in many different countries throughout the world, managing the risk of a failure or delay in any of these suppliers is of critical importance in meeting delivery and cost targets.
Plexus provides a comprehensive set of supply chain maps that visualise the supply chain in many ways, and integrates existing data from PLM, ERP, etc. and from your experts. Plexus enables clients to examine components, locations, capacities and resources, certification requirements, materials, so that they can assess the degree of exposure, and plan alternative scenarios and responses to react to a supply chain disturbance.
Ian Poccachard, CEO of Plexus Planning, said: “Plexus provides a highly visual supply chain map covering the expanded supply chain that allows clients, very quickly, to identify systemic or tactical threats and opportunities to the project, then to explore mitigating strategies through ‘what-if’ analyses.”
