Key requirement
The production of each aircraft is a unique process in which everything must be under absolute control. The reliability of every manufactured aircraft depends on compliance with all prescribed procedures down to the last detail. Tracing and records of used parts and materials are key for the subsequent servicing of aircraft. Ensuring warranty and post-warranty service is a condition for the success of every aircraft manufacturer. That's why it's important for Aicraft Industries to have the tools to record service orders and spare parts in line with the documentation of each aircraft shipped.
Solution
When choosing an information system solution, the verified deployment of the Infor LN system in the aviation industry, especially at one of the largest aircraft manufacturers, Boeing, was decisive. Other important factors were the full support of the Czech language and legislative environment and the direct representation of Infor in the Czech Republic. The original implementation took place directly under the leadership of Infor.
In 2019, Seyfor took over the support of Infor products at Aircraft Industries and completed a reimplementation project, the main goal of which was to move from the LN 6.1 FP3 system to version 10.5. This was followed by a project to transfer customizations outside the core of the system, thanks to which the company saved on licenses and prepared the system to a Cloud Ready state. Seyfor thus became the main partner for the support and further development of the Infor LN corporate information system. It is implemented in all areas of corporate management and is a key platform for the management of the entire company.
Result
The Infor LN system brings key benefits to Aircraft Industries, especially in the areas of financial management, production and business management, and logistics. The production process is accurately documented, and with continuous change management, the responsible personnel have a detailed overview of each piece of material and each manufactured part used in a specific aircraft.
Due to the large number of parts, material planning in Infor LN is highly valued. Tracking waste in production then increased the use of expensive materials. Cooperation with cooperating companies and records of issued and received processed material are also subject to special procedures.
Servicing of previously produced aircraft is carried out in the subsequent Service module of the Infor LN system. This makes it easy to use previously collected data and maintain up-to-date documentation for each aircraft.
