To be the most trusted source of communications and aviation electronics requires a network of suppliers we trust. In the spirit of partnership, we've enhanced supply chain management while following a Lean philosophy. It means our suppliers can deliver the right materials at the right time at the right cost. Through an e-strategy, we've better aligned customer and supplier expectations so it's easier for suppliers to access information. The bottom line? Better quality and service, while waste, cycle times and inventories are reduced. And that's profitable for both of us.
