Case study: Service Parts Management at Southwest Airlines
As Southwest Airlines grew, the company found that maintaining its fleet of aircraft using its existing legacy system was becoming more challenging. With $325 million tied up in service parts inventory, Southwest recognized that it needed to implement an inventory management solution. After extensively researching solutions providers, Southwest ultimately selected i2 Service Parts Management (i2 SPM).
Southwest uses i2 Service Parts Management for forecasting its part location combinations, replenishment planning, and inventory planning. i2 SPM can help Southwest ensure that the right parts are in stock at the right time, significantly reducing supply chain costs. In addition, Southwest can use i2 SPM to generate a forecast based on historical usage, as well as deterministic usage.
With i2 solutions, Southwest is better able to keep its planes in the air—where they make the company money—and not grounded due to lack of parts.
