MBDA Project Intro

AirSupply was created in 2012 as a bespoke supplier portal for the European defence / aerospace industry following a collaboration between SupplyOn AG and the Boost Aerospace Group (founded by Airbus, Thales, Dassault & Safran). 

Since then, it has become the principal supplier collaboration platform solution for all of the major players of the Aero Industry within Europe (including Airbus, Thales, Dassault, Safran, Leonardo, and since 2015, MBDA France)

It is a cloud-based solution which conforms to UK MoD and defence industry cyber security parameters. 

Its functionality is centred on the secure transfer of high volume commercial data between customers and suppliers 

At MBDA UK we are implementing its use with our external supply chain, specifically in Forecasting, POs-Scheduling Agreements, Dispatch Advice & Goods Receipts. 

 

AirSupply will be a single source of truth for all MBDA demand requirements updated directly from our MRP system which will facilitate communication, clarify agreements and eliminate non-added value work for both of us. 

MBDA Statement

"The implementation of AirSupply is an important strategic move for MBDA UK that will ensure the smooth management of our supply chain, simplifying the collaboration with our suppliers without compromising our standards on data security and therefore making it easier for all of us to maintain our highest quality targets. "

We will initially go live through a pilot study with a reduced number of suppliers to ensure a smooth introduction and then, early 2025, we will expand to the wider supply chain.
