Operations consulting for aerospace suppliers

Full order books meet fragile supply chains. We support supplier qualification, delivery performance and industrialisation, so that rising build rates actually reach the plant.

The situation in the industry

What it is about right now

Demand for aircraft will exceed production for years. Manufacturers raise rates and then push them back again, and suppliers have to plan capacity, people and material without being able to rely on them. Delivery performance is the metric customers look at. A single process error can affect hundreds of aircraft.

As of 2025: The German aerospace industry generated €62 billion in revenue, a record. The industry association names fragile supply chains as the main problem. Source: BDLI

  1. Rate ramp-up

    Align capacity, shift model and material planning with rising and fluctuating call-offs.

  2. Delivery performance

    Reduce backlogs and make tier 2 and tier 3 bottlenecks visible.

  3. Quality without deviation

    EN 9100, first article inspection to EN 9102, SCAR and 8D with lasting corrective actions.

  4. Materials and special processes

    Titanium, forgings, certificate traceability and NADCAP processes as bottlenecks.

What we take on in aviation

All services

When companies bring us in

  • Delivery performance is falling and the customer is threatening escalation.
  • After a SCAR, a robust root cause analysis is required.
  • A new programme is launching.
  • An automotive supplier is entering aerospace.

For newcomers from automotive: the APQP and PPAP logic is a good starting point, but the depth of documentation in aerospace is on another level.
