Abstract
Research Goals and Approach:
Goals -
• Develop an improved understanding of emerging supply chain management
strategies and practices in the commercial aerospace industry
• Explore the longer-term implications of the findings for supply chain management
practices in the aerospace industry in the future/
Approach -
• Conduct a comparative analysis of supply chain management practices by Boeing
and Airbus
• Focus on two large development programs -- the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the
Airbus A380 Navigator
• Concentrate on the common set of suppliers supporting both programs to develop a
sharp “compare-and contrast” perspective, looking at Boeing & Airbus from the
vantage point of these common suppliers
• Capture bottom-up “supplier’s voice” to complement “top-down” perspective, while
controlling for any “embellished” top-down view from the two companies
