Our Industrial Support Services For Aviation Manufacturing In Detail
Supply Chain Management
We support the efficient coordination of all supply chain elements in aviation manufacturing– from strategic procurement to end-point delivery. Our teams work directly on-site or remotely to identify inefficiencies, reduce lead times, and ensure continuous material availability. We take over complete work packages, including demand planning, supplier monitoring, escalation management, and logistics interface coordination.
Parts & Material Trading
We complement our supply chain services with sourcing and trading support for aviation-specific parts and consumables. This includes both planned procurement and AOG (Aircraft on Ground) emergency support. Our network of suppliers and logistics partners allows us to ensure availability at short notice, reduce procurement costs, and simplify sourcing for high-turnover or hard-to-find items.
Logistics & Warehouse Management
We provide logistics services covering the entire material flow on the shop floor and across warehouse networks within the aviation manufacturing industry. Our services include inventory management, real-time stock reconciliations and optimisation of warehouse layouts to improve picking and dispatch performance.
Industrialisation
We support OEMs and suppliers in introducing or scaling up production processes. From defining industrial flows and validating new tooling to setting up documentation and training, we help ensure a fast and compliant transition from prototype to serial production.
Quality Inspection Support
Our quality specialists assist in all phases of inspection – from FAI (First Article Inspection), to incoming goods control, to in-line and final inspections. We provide support with documentation, conformity checks, and customer audits.
Tool Management
Efficient tool management is essential in fast-paced aviation manufacturing environments. At ARTS Group, we take full responsibility for the provisioning, tracking, and lifecycle management of tools and consumables directly on-site at our clients' facilities.
Our teams operate tool shops embedded in production halls, ensuring technicians and engineers have immediate access to calibrated, functional, and compliant equipment. Our services include:
- On-site tool provisioning and returns
- Inventory and barcode-based tracking
- Condition checks, re-calibration scheduling, and repair coordination
- Hazardous materials and safety equipment distribution
- Process documentation in client systems (e.g. SAP)
We analyze existing tool management processes with the client, identify indirect cost drivers (e.g. downtimes due to missing tools), and implement structured, lean solutions. Our goal is to reduce procurement and storage overhead while improving tool availability and traceability.
This service is fully scalable across multi-site operations and multilingual teams, and can be closely integrated with our logistics and warehouse management offer.
