Spare Parts Stock Reconciliation

REQUIREMENT

An aerospace company was required to keep a number of Chinook helicopters in service at all times. High levels of unavailable parts could impact on the ability to repair aircraft in a timely manner. So the customer required RGIS to help establish:

• Validation of the number of parts in stock
• The value of the stock items
• What was the condition of the parts in stock
• Where the parts were located
• To cover multiple military and third party secure locations

SOLUTION

The aerospace company partnered with RGIS to create the custom reporting required:

• A bespoke program was created to facilitate the many and varied streams of information required
• Variance reports were generated in real time
• A rigid schedule to include all military and third party secure locations was put in place over a tight time frame
• All locations were counted at the same time

RESULTS

The aerospace company found that by outsourcing the helicopter parts inventory project to RGIS, the customer was able to:

• All locations including all military and third party secure locations were counted
• Identify a substantial number of parts which were not located where expected
• Access global data at the same time due to RGIS scheduling of counts
• More readily identify where there was an urgent and immediate need for parts
• Determine which parts needed replacing due to the condition of the part
