Kitting Solutions for Aircraft Engine Manufacturer

This case study details the implementation of a customized kitting solution for a large aircraft engine manufacturer facing challenges in distributing C-class hardware. The existing system relied on historical methods that did not effectively control parts distribution, leading to inefficiencies. The introduction of Direct Line Feed Carousels was insufficient to meet the growing production demands and aerospace quality standards. The new kitting solution streamlined operations by ensuring that all necessary parts were available at the point of use, resulting in a 33% reduction in engine build time, improved shop floor capacity, and reduced inventory levels. The kits were designed to be user-friendly, tamper-proof, and fully traceable, enhancing overall efficiency and productivity. Incora now supplies over 2,000 kits weekly to the manufacturer, demonstrating significant operational improvements and cost savings through better material management and planning.
