Background & Challenges

Before the pandemic, production rates in the sector were increasing in a relatively stable and predictable way, limiting difficulties to a number of well-known problems. 

Today's industry is facing many changes, and crises, particularly in the supply chain, are widespread, while the rate of production required has never been so sustained in the past. Maexinvent's teams advise companies in the sector to meet the many challenges they face:

  • Post Covid : financial difficulties, aggressive ramp-up, recruitment difficulties, raw materials crisis ...
  • War in Ukraine : ramping up defense spending, raw materials crisis, rising purchasing costs, questioning the sovereignty of France and the European Union.
  • IRA (Inflation Reduction Act) : competitiveness gap with the US, potential overhaul of the industrial footprint
  • Industry consolidation : changing balance of power between manufacturers and suppliers
  • Cybersecurity risks : resilience of information systems, interconnected supply chain risks, raising awareness
  • Sustainable development : decarbonization of aviation, carbon footprint, REACH regulations
