A COMPREHENSIVE CAPABILITY - AN INTEGRAL PART OF YOUR TEAM

Always committed to delivering the best value, our sourcing activity involved procurement from 60+ sub-tier suppliers, with a $1.3m annual raw material spend.

Annually, 23,500 hours of touch labor are used to ship 780 assemblies, not counting 100+ spares assemblies.

With an ongoing project of this scope, some serious organization was required to avoid confusion, damage, storage problems, and waste.

Sanders collaborated with the customer to develop a strategy for delivery, a departure from the traditional way of shipping a container of boxed parts. We decided to split each of the twelve annual deliveries into thirteen kits per shipset with each kit given a rolling cart for storage, which allowing for easy transportation and inspection at Sanders Composites.

Additional benefits of this strategy were the easy and safe movement onto the 3 - 53’ semi-box trailers per delivery, plus easy transportation and storage at the customer’s facility.

As a final bonus, the unpackaging, install time, and packaging waste removal of these panels onto the aircraft reduced from hundreds of hours to a task that could be accomplished in less than a day. A great result all round!

Sanders Composites looks forward to collaborating with you to make your process more streamlined and easier to maintain.
