The case was sponsored by American Airlines.American Airlines wanted a inventory and supply network strategy for the spares of their 787 fleet of aircrafts across the North American footprint. The complexity of the problem statement based on the criticality of the parts and the consequence of its unavailability at the right place and the right time was the most interesting part of the case and is what made it challenging. Our solution was to be responsive, agile and flexible supply chain to minimize the loss of their revenue due to a grounding of a plane because a critical part was unavailable for maintenance.They also wanted us to design a sourcing strategy to source a critical part if it is unavailable or out of stock. Our Sourcing strategy was designed to be highly responsive and find the fastest possible way to make the part available by inter airline co-operation or via drop shipping etc.We ranked 2nd out of 20 top teams from Business Schools all over the United States.
