Airbus Netherlands B.V. project Grip: Optimizing the Production Process and Inventory Management.
Optimizing Production & Inventory Management
Airbus Netherlands B.V. develops high-quality technology for the international space industry, including solar arrays, satellite instruments, and structures for launchers. The manufacturing process is a crucial part of the company's operations.
As Airbus transitions from single-item production to higher-volume series production—driven in part by the rise of satellite constellations—further industrialisation is essential. This shift has also created an increasing need for accurate and timely insights.
Emixa supported Airbus by integrating the production process into its existing SAP landscape and transitioning from unvalued to valued items. This integration provides greater transparency and insight into both logistics and financial processes, enabling timely adjustments when needed.
A key factor in the project's success was the close collaboration between Airbus key users and Emixa experts. Clear principles, including a commitment to ‘best practices’, combined with efficient communication, allowed for quick decision-making and implementation. Following a ‘best practices’ workshop phase, the team translated insights into SAP configurations. Despite tight timelines, the project was completed on schedule and met all expectations. With this achievement, Airbus has taken an important step toward realising a future-proof production process.
‘Through intensive collaboration and clear agreements, we have made significant progress in production orders and inventory management, with an accurate valuation of inventory in SAP. This is essential for series production, as it ensures optimal control and precision in both our logistics and financial process. The fact that we shaped the project together, in close collaboration, also contributed to its success'. - Project Team Airbus
