ECIP is Embraer’s collaborative, data driven inventory planning program, in which Embraer covers most of the spare parts investment and manages materials to help reduce airline downtime.
ECIP offers several advantages to customers. First, most of the inventory investment is covered by Embraer, substantially reducing it from airlines significantly. Also, fixed yearly pricing for each part allows customers to balance costs more precisely and increase inventory efficiency with predefined lead time attached to guaranteed performance levels by Embraer Services & Support.
Moreover, the operation is data-driven, with a weekly ordering recommendation based on customer usage and stock level data, created using advanced software and Embraer’s planning expertise shared collaboratively. Finally, all airlines participating in ECIP benefit from Embraer’s materials management expertise and a global logistics network with best-in-class performance.
