SkyThread Goals - Create trust in aircraft parts data to improve the integrity of the supply chain for aircraft parts, removing fear, uncertainty and doubt in transactions Achieve improvements in supply chain efficiency, parts turn-around-time (TAT), parts reliability analysis and part authenticity, driving safety (CAMO). Close the $300,000 cost gap in annual aircraft maintenance by 30% (by tail) between best in class and average MRO performance.

SkyThread Strategies - Onboard 100 million serialized aircraft parts, 30,000 commercial aircraft, 60,000 aircraft engines, 60,000 landing systems, APU’s and interiors.

Systems Integration - Embed SkyThread into current legacy ERP / MRO systems to create visibility to part event history throughout the supply chain. Integrate with data repositories of aircraft parts data and documents to create the over-arching “chain of chains” for aircraft parts data.
