Competition in the aerospace and defense sector has never been more fierce. Now, more than any other time, you have to operate lean and mean, from stem to stern and factory to foxhole. Not only do you need to show a return to shareholders, you need to demonstrate proven value and performance to your customers or risk losing business.
Defense contractors have especially difficult challenges – from congressional oversight to supporting the defense customer’s mission and its complex requirements. Predicting and controlling risk is becoming more important as performance-based contracting grows. Vendors must deliver better value while accepting more responsibility for the performance and sustainment of their programs.
SAS can help you improve your own internal operations as well as provide operational efficiencies for your government customers through our SAS solutions targeted at the following challenges:
Program Performance Management – SAS solutions help program managers manage their complex contracts more effectively by monitoring key performance indicators. When problem areas are detected, SAS allows you to perform what-if analysis to identify the best alternative. What sets SAS apart from the rest of the pack is the power we give our customers to not just gaze at the past but predict future outcomes that will improve their businesses. SAS can utilize existing databases and transaction systems, such as ERP and CRM and take it one step further – from “what is” to “what will be.”
Service and Spare Parts Optimization – As cost pressures increase throughout the product life cycle, optimizing the complex global supply chain becomes paramount. The SAS® for Spare Parts Optimization solution helps aerospace and defense companies optimize their supply chain and maintenance operations so they reduce costs while sustaining a high level of service. Proactively forecast where and when parts will be needed and predict shortages and failures before they happen, as well as provide what your customers need, when and where they need it, at an affordable cost.
Predictive Asset Maintenance – SAS® Predictive Asset Maintenance provides near-real-time monitoring and predictive alerts to help you avoid major defects and proactively address potential performance issues before they cause downtime so you reduce the length of shutdowns. With SAS, you can reduce unplanned maintenance and downtime, predict outage-causing events before they occur and run assets at peak performance to improve quality and reduce energy costs.
All of these solutions leverage the SAS Business Analytics Framework and its core components, including industry-leading data integration, analytics and reporting technologies. This framework provides the structure that allows you to address the most critical business issues right now for your customer and yourself, and then add new functionality as needed over time to further drive performance improvement and increase value.
