Citation Facilities Will Have Access To Each Others' Parts
Cessna announced Monday a new
satellite inventory initiative for Cessna-owned Citation Service
Centers.
The new initiative features a centrally managed inventory
system, which makes the inventory equally available and accessible
by all centers regardless of their location. A revised inventory
and warehouse management software at Citation Parts Distribution
was designed to improve communication between the service
centers.
Cessna says the new system allows each center easy access to
inventory availability at any Cessna-owned facility. Previously,
each center managed its own inventory.
A two-year study of repeat orders was conducted to establish
inventory requirements for common parts. Supplies are stocked based
on this study with a target for immediate parts availability 80-85
percent of the time. For the remainder, next day delivery from the
central parts inventory is most likely available.
"Much work has been done to streamline our parts inventory and
distribution," said Jack Stiffler, vice president, Citation Parts
Distribution. "The centralized inventory management strategy,
revised processes and alignment of the inventory has increased the
aggregate capacity of inventory at our service centers and improved
their efficiency. The end result is improved customer service,
which is always our ultimate goal."
The new program has also established common processes and
warehouse layouts for all the centers to improve efficiency.
Conformity is expected at all Cessna-owned Citation Service Centers
by the beginning of 2008.
