Business Wire
Deltek, Inc. (Nasdaq: PROJ), the leading global provider of
enterprise software and information solutions for government
contractors and professional services firms, today announced that
leading A&D contractor ARINC has selected Deltek Costpoint MES.
Deltek’s new Manufacturing Execution System (MES) will improve the
efficiency and profitability of ARINC’s aircraft MRO operations,
enabling the company to refurbish more aircraft faster with higher
quality and at a lower cost.
ARINC is a world leader in communications, engineering, and
integration for commercial, defense and government customers
worldwide. The company is a long-time user of the Deltek Costpoint
ERP system that is powering its company-wide financial management
processes. ARINC selected Deltek Costpoint MES to drive greater
efficiency and profitability in its aircraft refurbishment
operations. By deploying Deltek’s MES solution, ARINC will drive
tangible benefits to its global operations including:
- Increasing shop floor
efficiency: Costpoint MES delivers all of the data and
instructions for disassembling, reassembling, and inspecting an
aircraft. Routing instructions and diagrams are provided online in
a step by step fashion for each aircraft. Important information
including assembly instructions, part information, and inspection
results can be easily accessed and recorded on the shop floor so no
time is wasted throughout the MRO process – accelerating the speed
of ARINC’s refurbishment operations.
- Driving greater product quality:
Costpoint MES delivers instructions for conducting inspections as
an aircraft is repaired and reassembled. It also records crucial
information including product serial numbers, the employees that
worked on each assembly, time worked, defects found, and how
defects were resolved. The information Costpoint MES captures in
real-time will help ARINC proactively prevent product quality
issues that can raise production costs.
- Greatly accelerating cash flow:
With Costpoint and Costpoint MES integrated together, all time and
materials involved in the refurbishment process are captured and
invoiced for automatically, using project-based costing rules. The
tight connection between ARINC’s shop floor and its financial
management system will improve cash flow as completed work is
billed for much faster than before.
“Costpoint MES will improve our aircraft MRO operations in a
variety of measurable ways,” said Carl MacKay, Director of Business
Operations for ARINC. “We will have one integrated system with all
of the appropriate operations and instructions, completely
integrated with our planning, project management, invoicing, and
accounting processes. The efficiencies gained on the shop floor
will enable us to finish work on each aircraft more quickly and
profitably, while maintaining our industry-leading quality
standards. That’s a win-win for ARINC and our customers.”
“We are very excited that ARINC again turned to Deltek to drive
game-changing results for its organization,” said Tom Mazich,
Deltek’s EVP and General Manager – GovCon. “Since we launched
Costpoint MES earlier this year, we have seen tremendous interest
in this particular solution and our entire portfolio of project
manufacturing capabilities as a whole. Leading government
contractors such as ARINC are increasingly looking to Deltek to
unite their financial management systems with their manufacturing
operations, providing one project-based process for managing their
businesses. We look forward to working closely with ARINC as it
implements Costpoint MES across its organization.”
Deltek’s integrated project manufacturing suite includes
Materials Management, Costpoint MES, and Costpoint Shop Floor Time.
