Aberdeen report offers insights into best-in-class ERP in A&D sector

CINCINNATI – Despite almost half of aerospace and defense (A&D) manufacturers citing cost reduction as a key business driver, the industry as a whole lags behind best-in-class standards for inventory level reduction and inventory accuracy, according to a recent research study completed by Aberdeen and Cincom Systems.

According to the jointly published report, “ERP in Aerospace and Defense” (www.cincom.com/aberdeen), A&D firms are most concerned with cost reduction and customer satisfaction (38%). Yet, A&D firms admit improvement is needed in controlling schedules and managing inventory—two factors that are absolutely critical to reducing cost and improving customer satisfaction.

In the report, Aberdeen offers insight into what most concerns A&D firms regarding ERP implementations and how to improve them.
