In an effort to reduce costs and improve operations,
manufacturers across sectors have looked to optimize their
footprints. This is also true for the global aerospace and defense
industry, which has recently experienced massive market and supply
chain disruptions from geopolitical events.
However, preparing and executing a footprint optimization
strategy is a complex task with many factors influencing the
outcome. Without proper analysis and planning, footprint
optimization can cost more than it could potentially save.
This case study highlights how a thorough analysis set the
foundation for an aerospace components manufacturer to develop an
effective footprint optimization strategy.
