Key benefits For Commercial Aerospace: For Defense Organizations: Increased equipment availability and performance Greater customer satisfaction due to aircraft availability Higher customer retention and repeat business Lower total cost of maintenance Increased equipment availability and performance Better warfighter support Lower total cost of maintenance and sustainment Improved total cost of ownership Smaller, more agile footprint Increased profitability and revenue Comprehensive Capabilities PTC s Service Parts Management for Aerospace and Defense solution addresses a broad array of challenges in managing the materials to support Commercial Airlines, Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) Providers, OEMs (including commercial and defense airframe and engine), and Defense Organizations. PTC s solution delivers the industry s most specialized and scalable Multi-Indenture Multi- Echelon (MIME) optimization combined with a robust tactical planning model. This solution can house complete product or tail configurations, compute probabilistic maintenance bills of material (BOMs), and direct the rebalancing of materials across global networks to achieve the highest availability: Forecasting creates the most accurate forecast possible for every level of the supply chain by using statistical algorithms, installed-base data, causal factors (e.g., flight hours), and maintenance requirements Multi Indenture Multi Echelon Inventory Optimization (MIME) determines the lowest cost solution to achieve desired service levels across a multi-echelon supply chain using advanced optimization algorithms and planning the service parts to guarantee a desired level of uptime or availability for complex assets Order Planning (OP) recommends the most effective way to buy, replenish, repair, and rebalance materials throughout the supply chain Lifecycle Analysis manages transitions through the product lifecycle, including new product introduction, end-of-life, and product configuration changes Initial Provisioning (IP) recommends the number of parts to purchase as an initial buy in order to support a new asset (engines, for example).
