A global industry
Published in Malcolm Abbott, Jill Bamforth, The Early Development of the Aviation Industry, 2019
Determining the scale and scope of the aerospace industry today is a little tricky as many of the major players combine aerospace with a range of other industries. An aerospace manufacturer is generally regarded as being an individual or firm that is involved in the various aspects of designing, building, testing, selling and maintaining aircraft, aircraft parts, missiles, spacecraft or rockets. The industry is, therefore, a high-tech one. In addition to manufacturing aircraft there is also the manufacturing of parts for aircraft used in maintenance, both for civil and military aviation.
Federated machine learning for privacy preserving, collective supply chain risk prediction

Our contribution is primarily positioned within the context of AI in SCRM. Extant approaches within AI-based risk prediction have focussed on the use of datasets available to a singular company, primarily to predict disruptions. These include works of Brintrup et al. (2020) who used ERP data from an aerospace manufacturer to predict order delays with a variety of classification algorithms such as Support Vector Machines, Logistic Regression, and Naïve Bayes. Li and Zeng (2016) deployed Bayesian Network models for failure mode analysis. Rodgers and Singham (2020) constructed a Bayesian Network to predict disruption impacts in a supply network. Badakhshan and Ball (2022) used the CART algorithm to predict payment disruptions and identify the inventory and cash replenishment policies that minimise their impact. Barros et al. (2022) developed a Random Forest based approach to estimate supply lead times for improved Safety Stock keeping.

A large aerospace manufacturer was interested in using their knowledge on Lean concepts to reduce electricity usage, the largest utility expense in their budget. A pilot group was identified in the printed circuit board shop, located within the headquarters building, which was the largest electricity user of all buildings within the company. This specific area was selected because there was strong leadership support and Lean knowledge in the area, and because it was possible to separate out their electricity usage cleanly from the rest of the building. This allowed them to understand their actual electricity usage, which did not match the amount they were being charged by Finance in their budget.

ASCO manufactures and supplies Toyota with these water pumps. ASCO, manufacturer of high lift device mechanisms, complex mechanical assemblies and major functional components, signed a long term contract with Airbus for the production of hybrid complex frames. Denso supplies Toyota with approximately half of its components. GKN Aerospace has been awarded a contract by Airbus. Velocity Composites has signed a new contract that will see it supply aerospace manufacturer GKN Aerospace with structural plies for the next five years. Japanese car brands Toyota and Suzuki have announced wide-ranging global collaboration plans. Toyota owns close to 25% of subsidiary Denso.
