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. The aerospace company partnered with RGIS to verify the parts available.
THE CHALLENGE
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
