This book presents firsthand insights into strategies and approaches for the commercial aerospace supply chain in response to the numerous changes that airlines, aircraft OEMs and their suppliers have experienced over the past few decades. In doing so, it investigates the entire product value chain.

Accordingly, the chapters address the challenges of configuration and demand, and highlight the specificities of customization in the aviation industry. They analyze component manufacturing, share valuable insights into assembly and integration activities, and describe aftermarket business models.

In order to ensure more varied and balanced coverage, the book includes contributions by researchers, suppliers, and experts and practitioners from consulting companies and the aircraft industry. Taken together, they provide a holistic perspective on the transformation drivers and the innovations that have either been implemented or will be adopted in the near future.

The book introduces and describes new concepts and innovations such as 3D printing, E2E demand management, digital production, predictive maintenance and open innovation in general, supplementing them with sample industrial applications from the aviation sector. 

Das Buch gibt einen Überblick über die gegenwärtig intensiv diskutierten Konzepte eines globalen Netzwerk- und Integrationsmanagements für die Funktionen der Beschaffung und Logistik. Neben einer kompetenten Darstellung existierender Ansätze und Methoden werden dem Leser anhand von Best Practices renommierter Unternehmen aus der Automobilindustrie Vorschläge zur Implementierung innovativer Methoden und Instrumente eines globalen Beschaffungs-, Logistik-, Supply Chain Managements und Supply-Netzwerkmanagements vermittelt. Hierzu zählen u.a. Supply Chain Valuedriver Decomposition (SCVD), Kostenregressionsanalysen, wertorientiertes Beschaffungs- und SCM-Controlling, Value Sourcing (Wertschöpfungsmanagement), Shared Service Center sowie innovative Kooperationsmodelle.
