Aerospace parts require special care and handling. Aero-Spaces specializes in providing world class handling for your parts. But accurate receiving, careful storing, and on-time shipping is only a small part of what we can do for you. Aero-Spaces can help you minimize your inventory by holding it as close to the customer as possible, and by providing the most reliable information available on your customer's usage pattern.
Let us manage your min/max contract with a local stocking location and advanced data management. Aero-Spaces is a unique addition to the aerospace supply chain. We specialize in solving any problems between manufacturers and the large aerospace OEMs. Our primary areas of expertise are in software that manages customer inventory and managed 3rd party logistics.

One often overlooked tool to reduce costs is to build in optimum lot sizes or the Economical Build Quantity (EBQ). Of course, you should diligently try to minimize set-up costs, aim for single piece flow etc., but with many planes being built in quantities of one plane a month (or less), there will never be enough volume to justify the expense necessary to reduce setups to zero.
Building in lot sizes that are too large minimizes set-up but increases "holding" costs by having parts in inventory. These inventory costs are very visible so they generate a well-justified effort to reduce them. Building in lot sizes that are too small increases overhead costs but in a way that is much harder to track, find, and reduce.
Since every client is unique, these services are presented as a software-as-a-service solution (SaaS), not as prepackaged software for purchase. We customize and tailor the system to meet your specific needs, giving you the absolute best information we can. All modifications to the system are made free of charge to the client, because every modification we make to improve your service in turn makes our software services that much better.
While it may not seem like a very "lean" part of your supply chain, warehousing is in fact very lean, when executed properly. Unlike the automotive industry, which operates in the hundreds of units production rates, aerospace production is currently a fraction of that. However, also unlike the automotive industry, many of the parts used in a plane are very large, and extremely expensive.
Proper part identification is essential to maintaining that high quality rating. Aero-Spaces uses current, Boeing-approved methods for permanent and temporary part marking, especially the Sten-C-Labl system. This versatile system, when combined with database-driven stencil creation allows for a very accurate and highly individualized stencil.
