PDQ Launch Next Generation ConsumableCare
Following a highly successful season of customer expansion and consumable supply demand, PDQ Airspares are excited to herald the launch of its Next Generation ConsumableCare programs.
Since its inception during 2007, ConsumableCare has been enthusiastically embraced by many of Europe's most demanding Airline and Maintenance Organisations. The success of the programs are now clearly evident with new Airlines and MRO's coming aboard and existing ones renewing contracts for a further 3-5 years.
ConsumableCare was initially created to offer Airlines and MRO's a means to significantly reduce time and operational costs through a core range of scalable and tailored programs:
- Invoice On Consumption - Fixed Price Consignments
- JIT - Guaranteed Supply
- Kitting Programs
- Consignment & Asset Disposal
Since these have been implemented, our customers have been able to measure enviable savings across multiple departments.
... and now, building on the success of its predecessor, Next Generation ConsumableCare is even more streamlined and efficient.
IT Systems - With success comes susceptibility, so to maximise efficiency and ensure smooth supply operation, PDQ have recently completed a major IT systems overhaul program. The benefits of this have already been realised, with improved communication & information availability providing our support teams with 24/7 monitoring, through anytime-anywhere, MS Cloud based Technology. With the rapid increase in data flow, the new systems have also enabled us to effortlessly boost productivity without compromising stability.
More Manpower - Adding to our existing team of Front-line Support Operators, PDQ have enlisted the skill and services of several new ground personnel. Each one bringing their own experience and expertise gained in the field of aviation maintenance supply. Warehouse staffing levels have also been increased to manage the surging flow of parts.
Increased Reporting Capability - With self-imposed performance sanctions in place, PDQ are constantly monitoring internal & external processes to ensure delivery deadlines are achieved and supporting warehouse levels maintained. NGC's enhanced Efficiency & Performance Reporting System (EPRS) enables us to effectively forecast stock availability turbulence, whilst targeting weak links in the supply-chain, triggering evasive steps to further safeguard critical stock levels.
