The Aerospace industry must accelerate the transformation of its model under the combined effect of the impacts of the COVID crisis, new customer expectations and the application of new technologies. The imperatives of decarbonisation, flexibility and performance of the industrial system as well as the need for excellence in the customer/traveller experience generate a complex equation to solve. Aeronautical players have to offer more services, more comfort, more safety, more fluidity, while being more efficient.
Companies in the sector therefore face three strategic imperatives:
- Invent the aircraft (or space) of tomorrow,
- Drastically reduce the time-to-market,
- Ensure maximum flexibility of their industrial tool and their supply chain.
To achieve these objectives, they can activate the following five levers:
- Design new systems in a global way, taking into account their life cycle,
- Ensure a true digital continuity between design, operations and services,
- Substantially renovate their legacy information systems and prepare them for further digitalisation,
- Increase collaboration in the ecosystem,
- Ensure the continuous acquisition and training of talent.
