The Supply-Chain Manager draws on various internal sources of information (scheduling, purchasing, production, quality, sales, finance, export control, etc.) to organize the flow of the connecting rod supply chain, from the purchase of raw materials to the delivery of finished products to our customers worldwide. He ensures that deliveries are made on time, in compliance with aeronautical regulations and under control of predefined costs.
I particularly appreciate the cross-functional nature of my role, with links to all internal functions, as well as to external authorities such as GIFAS, DGA, EASA...
In the aeronautical sector, which is dependent on geopolitical contexts, it's essential to be able to adapt and stay on the move to smooth out the production load as much as possible, despite the inevitable variations in the order book.
However, this very short-term vision has one major advantage: it means we never fall into a rut!
