Business Intelligence BI Solutions : SAS® for Aerospace

Predict peak performance
Competition in the aerospace and defense sector has never been more fierce. Now, more than any other time, you have to operate lean and mean, from stem to stern and factory to foxhole. Not only do you need to show a return to shareholders, you need to demonstrate proven value and performance to your customers or risk losing business.

Defense contractors have especially difficult challenges – from congressional oversight to supporting the defense customer’s mission and its complex requirements. Predicting and controlling risk is becoming more important as performance-based contracting grows. Vendors must deliver better value while accepting more responsibility for the performance and sustainment of their programs.

Whether you use SAS to improve your own internal operations or partner with SAS to provide operational efficiencies for your government customers, the SAS® Enterprise Intelligence Platform extends the value of your existing systems while setting the stage for new levels of enterprise intelligence not previously possible. SAS solutions allow you to access information from virtually any system or data format and are founded on:

Data integration. Integrate information from disparate systems for data that is accurate, consistent and ready to use to make sound decisions.
Business intelligence. Obtain a global view of the program with self-service reporting and analysis that gives you the information you need, when and how you need it.
Analytics. Use advanced and predictive analytics to more accurately forecast future requirements and potential outcomes. Compare options with what-if analyses to make the best decisions.
Intelligence Storage. Efficiently store and disseminate information for business intelligence and analytic requirements.
SAS is the only vendor that completely integrates leading data warehousing, analytics and traditional BI applications to create intelligence from massive amounts of data – scalability other vendors cannot match.

SAS solutions can be implemented quickly and cost effectively. They leverage your current IT systems already in place and get more out of your current applications.

Program Performance Management – To effectively measure and manage government program execution, program managers must identify potential problem areas before they become an issue.

SAS solutions help program managers manage their complex contracts more effectively by monitoring key performance indicators. When problem areas are detected, SAS allows you to perform what-if analysis to identify the best alternative. What sets SAS apart from the rest of the pack is the power we give our customers to not just gaze at the past but predict future outcomes that will improve their businesses.

Forget rip and replace – avoid complex and costly multi-year, enterprisewide implementations. SAS can utilize existing databases and transaction systems, such as ERP and CRM and take it one step further – from “what is” to “what will be.”

Service and Spare Parts Optimization – As cost pressures increase throughout the product life cycle, optimizing the complex global supply chain becomes paramount. The SAS® for Spare Parts Optimization solution helps aerospace and defense companies optimize their supply chain and maintenance operations so they reduce costs while sustaining a high level of service.

Proactively forecast where and when parts will be needed. Predict failures before they happen. Forecast shortages and predict failures. Increase availability. Provide what your customers need, when and where they need it, at an affordable cost.
