Do you have surplus aircraft part inventory?
This unnecessary buildup occurs when you order inventory in preparation for near term consumption.
When that consumption never occurs. Voila! Surplus inventory builds up.
Here’s the impact that this causes to your operation.
It’s not the price you pay, how business savvy you are, or how excellent your negotiation skills are. This is the MOST IMPORTANT skill you need when purchasing aircraft parts.
Your surplus aircraft material was sitting. Rotting. Wasting away on your shelves.
Slowly eating away at your operational results. Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.
Cash was being sucked down the surplus drain. And the only thing you could do was…
Price. How important is it to you? How often do you try and get the lowest price? I’m sure you’re thinking to yourself, “It’s incredibly important.” and “Every chance I get.” And that’s fair. It’s also common to ask how much something costs. Or to reduce the cost of something. We often use price and cost interchangeably. That’s a mistake.
Request For Quotes (RFQs) are a necessary evil. When I was speaking to an operator in South Africa, he explained to me how overwhelming his days were. He processed hundreds of RFQ line items every day. His team sent their RFQs to over one hundred people on an email list. I could hear the frustration in his voice.

Pulling a component from your aircraft early costs you thousands of dollars and hours of time. It’s frustrating. It’s infuriating. It’s stressful. Your first instinct it’s to “blame” the maintenance professionals who repair these components. That would make it a lot easier if it were always correct. But, it’s not reality. As an operation, you must first acknowledge that you’ll own a part that becomes a rogue or chronic unit.
Does it ever feel like you've hit a wall in your attempts to receive better maintenance material support? I suggest that it's time to take a look at what you do regularly that's holding you back. There is a shortcut, a simple hack to be able to get more done, and I'm going to reveal it to you now.

It’s best practice to know how much shelf life remaining your o-rings have as you purchase them. To do this, you need to know the type of elastomer used in the gaskets. Once you have that, you can then quickly determine the o-rings shelf life.
Do you waste hours of your time sending and processing RFQs? This is TIME you’ll never get back! Read this post and we’ll share with you simple ways to source your next aircraft part requirements.
Do you purchase aircraft brakes? Of course, you do. Whether you purchase, exchange, or repair brakes, a lot of time and money is spent managing this critical component. The total MRO demand for aircraft wheel and brakes in 2019 is $2,500,000,000. How much you spend is in there somewhere…
What’s one thing that will save you millions of dollars and months of your time?
Used Serviceable Material (USM).
Without them, you’d throw good money after bad, chase long, complicated lead times and get little OEM support, especially for older aircraft models.
That’s why this post is so crucial for you to read.
It’s a trend that has no foreseeable end, unless particular things happen within the aviation industry, of which, none exist.
The trend is, used serviceable parts are becoming more expensive and scarce.
