At the same time, industry must ensure that it delivers competitive solutions for customers whilst maintaining profitable business growth.The lead for the initiative comes from 16 prime contractors who are referred to as the key customer working group. Two of which, General Dynamics UK and Augusta Westland, are key customers to AWS. SC21 key customers working group has developed and sponsored the launch SC21 implementation plan, encompassing some 120 aerospace and defence businesses which includes AWS Electronics Group.
In the launch phase, these have been selected because they either service multiple key customers in our industry and/or provide strategic capabilities. This plan represents the initial phase of implementation and will grow as more customers and suppliers progress into SC21 implementation
As a signatory AWS are committed to developing all aspects of its supply chain to ensure they remain competitive and able to deliver increased value to customers. |
