London, UK- In December 2018,
GKN Fokker Services delivered its 10,000th order for standard parts to the
Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF). The order was delivered at the Air Force
Base of Eindhoven. This milestone was reached 18 months after the
implementation of the total support contract. This customized solution is
offered by GKN Fokker Services in Hoofddorp (NL) and provides the RNLAF with
one single point of contact for all standard parts requirements.
The total support solution covers the delivery
of the standard parts and additional services such as transportation,
management of storage systems, forecasting and stock storage. RNLAF’s fleet of
Apache, Chinook and Cougar helicopters as well as the F-16's, PC-7's and the
KDC-10 tanker aircraft are included in the agreement. All orders are processed
via GKN Fokker Services’ secure and dedicated customer portal, which is
seamlessly integrated with back-office systems.
Jeroen Ridderhof, Supply Chain Management at
the RNLAF said: "This solution provides us with the anticipated advantages
and the high level of unburdening a cleaner and simplified supply chain against
an increased availability of parts. We are happy that we can look back at a
successful implementation and reached this important milestone with our
strategic partner GKN Fokker".
Marcel van Hilten, Business Development at GKN
Fokker Services said: “We are proud of the successful implementation of this
jointly developed solution. We look forward to expand our relationship with
RNLAF. The success of the total support solution for this specific group of
parts and services will strengthen the position of GKN Fokker in the military
support market.”
