Title: Adapt, Survive and Thrive in Turbulent Times: The Aerospace and Defense Industry’s Response to the Economic Downturn
Author: KPMG International
Description: The current recession is considered by many to be more severe than any other global economic downturn since the 1930s. Every day the media reports evidence of market turmoil. Corporate executives are facing the hardest decisions of their careers simply to stay solvent. But for A&D companies, things are a little different. They are no strangers to economic downturn. Many of the strategies in use today have been in place for years and are direct responses to previous downturns. This experience, together with a strong cash position, offers a unique resiliency for A&D companies. A resiliency that may help them to ride out the storm…. and emerge soaring.

Title: Multi-Enterprise Collaboration: Reducing Costs and Risks in the Aerospace and Defense Supply Chain
Author: Aberdeen Group
Description: Supply chain globalization, increased complexity of supplier and customer networks, and rising costs are forcing companies to re-think their approach to supply chain management (SCM). The aerospace and defense (A&D) sector has historically been behind other industries in supply chain process and software advances, due to highly conservative and security-oriented attitudes and practices. However, intense global competition and increased supply chain risks have promted A&D companies to re-examine their supply chain to find ways to minimize inefficiencies. As a result, leading A&D manufacturers have begun adopting innovative approaches and technologies to managing their supply, demand and logistics networks.
