Key challenges in the A&D industry

The aerospace and defense industry is facing unprecedented challenges, requiring innovative and intelligent solutions.

Supply chain disruptions

Agility and resilience are essential in the face of rapid change and disruptions. Data analytics and scenario planning help assess the impact on the supply chain and financial performance, ensuring business continuity and recovery.

Cost pressure

Suppliers are under constant pressure to produce more at lower cost. Rising raw material and energy prices are reducing margins. Automation and process optimization are critical to remain competitive.

Regulation and compliance

Strict regulations (e.g. ITAR, AS9100) and mandatory certifications represent a major challenge for companies. delaware helps embed compliance into business processes to pass audits smoothly.

Talent shortage

The shortage of skilled engineers and an aging workforce are slowing innovation. Automation and skills development help mitigate these challenges.

Volatile customer demand

Customers demand greater customization at lower cost. Without flexibility in production and planning, companies risk missing opportunities or building unnecessary inventory.

Fragmented and outdated IT

Many companies still rely on legacy systems (SAP ECC) and must migrate to SAP S/4HANA by 2027. An intelligent ERP enables integrated and modernized processes to remain competitive.
