As an aviation operator, you rely on effective supply chains to deliver compliant parts within tight timelines. Unitek Technical Services offers the aviation supply chain services your organization needs. We can help streamline the processes that bring your parts from the initial production stages to the finished products you can use. By focusing on these details, we free you to work on the big-picture tasks that keep your aviation operations running.
Why Aviation Supply Chains Need Specialized Support
The parts used in aircraft must meet unique standards, including:
Regulatory
Civil authorities like the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) set regulations influencing aircraft production processes. Compliance enables you to maintain financial and operational security. We help focus on conformance earlier in production so that parts can meet exacting specifications. We can even work with global supplier networks across continents and the differing regulatory standards that arise.
Safety
Parts and processes within the aviation industry are safety-critical and require redundancy, traceability and documentation. Since the aviation industry deals with the general public, it faces extensive regulatory requirements, as it must promote safety at every stage to protect passengers.
Sourcing
Improved sourcing leads to a lower aircraft on ground (AOG) risk. Aviation operators can maintain tight schedules and protect revenue when aircraft operate as expected. Support in the early stages of the supply chain can enhance sourcing operations so aircraft spend more time in the air.
