Why Traditional Supplier Management Falls Short
Aerospace and defense companies often rely on outdated supplier management practices that leave their operations vulnerable to critical risks. Without robust assessment aligned to AS9100 Rev D standards, supply chains experience quality failures, delivery delays, and increased regulatory compliance burdens. Over $4.2 billion is lost annually to supply chain disruptions, with inadequate supplier quality management responsible for 67% of these incidents, according to the Aerospace Industries Association. Research confirms that organizations with systematic vendor assessment programs face 45% fewer disruptions and resolve issues 38% faster.
