Embraer, a Brazil-based aircraft manufacturer, is committed to its mission to provide streamlined, sustainable solutions to the aviation industry. This includes signing the agreement with Kenya Airlines under the ECIP program. This helps in managing inventory of consumables such as spare aircraft parts.
The majority of inventory investments in the program are made by Embraer, which reduces the burden of investing in customers, such as Kenya Airlines. Modifying the annual pricing for each aircraft component allows for a balanced cost and performance levels are guaranteed by Embraer Services & Support. Additionally, by analyzing customer usage and stock-level data, the ECIP program encourages customers to order weekly.
