How Are Vendigital Different?
Utilising a broad spectrum of well-established and proven successful methodologies and tools, our Aerospace and Defence consultants are rapidly able to identify and mobilise opportunities which speedily realise measurable benefits for the clients with whom we work.
The methodologies and tools that we use include Insights360 – a bespoke approach to obtaining a strong economic edge for the maintenance of healthy margins and strong operations. This approach provides organisations with a fully holistic view over their entire cost-base, starting with a complete programme of data transformation led by the data science in-house team. Our adept teams have extensive experience in organising and deciphering vast amounts of data so companies can be confident that the basis on which decisions will be based is strong and well-founded.
Once the data set has been methodically organised, it is paired with our operational expertise to provide bespoke insights that are aligned to each organisation’s strategic objectives and vision to ensure that all significant opportunities are being maximised to the fullest extent.
Primarily, we focus outcomes and not reports. Our team can produce impressive and measurable results that will directly impact on the client company’s bottom-line. Thanks to our comprehensive library of industry dynamic benchmarks, our consultancy team are able to analyse the full cost base of each organisation that we work with, from third party expenditure to operational overheads and the costs of each product’s lifecycle in order to design a complete programme of opportunities and insights.
Challenges Facing The Aerospace And Defence Industry?
As experts in the field, our team of specialist Aerospace and Defence consultants have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the various unique challenges that face this sector. Common challenges faced by our customers include:
• The challenges involved in managing a long lead-time but high-value inventory while also balancing the need to conserve money.
• The need to maintain capabilities for investment in the future.
• Management of the organisation’s cost base despite declining volumes in the market.
• Handling unpredictable and fluctuating demand which results in build-ups in inventory of the incorrect stock throughout the industry supply chain.
• The long and short-term viability of companies supplying small components since most of the largest projects within this industry are dependant on components supplied by smaller third-party manufacturers that are traditionally at high risk of failure and collapse.
• When small companies manufacturing components begin to fail, bigger manufacturers relying on the components in question become at greater risk of lost access to intellectual property owned by those third-parties.
• Working with a new type of supplier is required in order to support a new generation of cutting-edge aircraft including battery technology, electrification and other sources of alternative fuels.
• The Aerospace and Defence industry is extremely capital intensive, with high costs for R&D, high wages to pay for the most skilled and talented staff, and expensive costs for certification and development.
• Advanced technology for the future – organisations must be capable of keeping up when it comes to competing for the most up-to-date technologies in the future.
• Due to poor consumer confidence there has been a lowered demand within the civil aviation sector and this has had a major impact that must be managed and addressed.
• Although there has been less impact on the defence sector, small suppliers frequently supply components to defence and civil programmes alike, and this means that the risk is applicable to the entire sector.
With such a comprehensive understanding of the various elements that impact on this sector, it’s easy to see why so many blue-chip clients in the Aerospace and Defence industry return to our consultants time and again to supply tailored programmes that deliver tangible results and measurable improvements to product portfolios sector-wide.
