Welcome to ”Invisible Threats – Resilience 2023: Aerospace & Defense” – The Aerospace & Defense edition of interos.ai’s third annual supply chain survey. This exclusive report is the only industry benchmark that provides an in-depth look into how A&D organizations are being affected by — and responding to — multi-factor third-party and supply chain risk.
This report analyzes the responses of 150 global Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) leaders within the aerospace & defense sector, and provides comparisons against our other surveyed industries (financial services, energy, healthcare, and government) to see how they stack up. This research was conducted with no mention of interos.ai to ensure unbiased results.
Key Highlights
- $47M Annual Savings: Our research reveals that better prevention and swift response to supply chain disruptions can save A&D organizations an average of $47M annually.
- Extensive Sub-Tier Supplier Disruptions: An alarming 90%+ of aerospace & defense organizations lack awareness of sub-tier supplier disruptions for up to 48 hours, exposing them to significant reputational and financial risks.
- Expensive and Increasingly Frequent Disruptions: The average A&D organization lost $65M last year due to supply chain disruption – and the frequency of those disruptions is rising.
- Supply Chain Risk Management Maturity: A mere 9% of supply chain risk/procurement leaders within aerospace & defense think they have reached full maturity in terms of their supply chain risk management functions
