Airline traffic remains weak with TSA screenings 88% below 2019 pre-Memorial Day. This creates a period of reckoning for airlines/OEMs. Boeing had zero orders in April and announced layoffs. Airbus warned of “bleeding cash.” MRO revenue tanked and supplier survival is threatened. Defense markets remain strong, though COVID idled plants and may cause lower defense budgets.
Aerospace and defense (A&D) is labor intensive, with little use of remote workers at scale. This is changing, but exposes need for long-term focus on the Cloud, machine learning, virtual reality, and analytics. We are in “uncharted waters” says Boeing. The “virus will change our business for years to come.”
MOSIMTEC airport modeling and simulation can chart the course for your A&D future, and lead the way for technology change and virtual work. Simulation can address production/staff scheduling, bottlenecks, cost reduction, supply chain optimization, and more. Leverage a virtual pilot to explore options, see what works best for efficiency, cost, safety, other goals. For defense contracts, MOSIMTEC couples Earned Value Management with Schedule Risk Assessment to fill a gap with current approaches and account for unplanned variability that lowers performance. MOSIMTEC is here to help.
