Eric Trappier, Chairman & CEO, of Dassault Aviation has said that In today’s complex global landscape, the aviation industry faces unprecedented challenges, including supply chain disruptions and the potential for sub-contractor inefficiencies. To mitigate these risks and ensure the continued success of our operations, Dassault Aviation is implementing a comprehensive strategy that involves both internal and external measures.
One of our key priorities is to strengthen our supply chain resilience. We are actively working to diversify our sourcing channels and explore alternative suppliers to reduce our reliance on any single vendor. Additionally, we are investing in advanced technologies and analytics to improve our supply chain visibility and optimize inventory management.
Furthermore, we are taking proactive steps to anticipate and address potential sub-contractor inefficiencies. This includes conducting regular assessments of our suppliers’ capabilities and performance, providing them with the necessary support and resources to meet our standards, and implementing contingency plans to mitigate the impact of any disruptions.
Given the strong ties we have forged with Indian companies as part of the “Make in India” initiative and the significant business opportunities that exist in the country, India has emerged as a strategic partner for Dassault Aviation. We believe that India offers a unique opportunity to expand our supply chain and enhance our global competitiveness.
By leveraging India’s rich talent pool, robust manufacturing capabilities, and favorable business environment, we aim to establish a strong and sustainable presence in the country. We are actively exploring partnerships with Indian suppliers and exploring potential investments in local manufacturing facilities.
We are confident that our strategic focus on supply chain resilience and our commitment to India will enable Dassault Aviation to navigate the challenges of the current market and continue to deliver innovative aviation solutions to our customers worldwide.
