Embraer and Scoot, the low-cost arm of Singapore Airlines, have teamed up for the Embraer Collaborative Inventory Planning (ECIP) programme. This special programme is all about managing spare parts inventory in a smarter way to help airlines like Scoot save money on operational costs. Scoot, which earlier signed up for the Pool Programme, is now adding ECIP to its arsenal to support its incoming fleet of nine E190-E2 jets. This makes Scoot the first ECIP customer in the Asia-Pacific region.
Ng Chee Keong, Scoot’s Chief Operating Officer, expressed his excitement about the partnership, highlighting their commitment to achieving top-notch performance with their new E190-E2 fleet. He emphasized how this strategic collaboration with Embraer will ensure operational efficiency as they gear up for the arrival of their first Embraer jet.
Carlos Naufel, President and CEO of Embraer Services & Support, underscored Embraer’s dedication to understanding and meeting the evolving needs of airline customers. He thanked Scoot for their trust as they prepared to support Scoot’s fleet of E190-E2 jets.
Singapore serves as the hub for Embraer’s services and support operations in the Asia-Pacific region. With personnel and a Regional Distribution Centre based in Singapore’s Changi Airport free trade zone, Embraer ensures round-the-clock spare parts provision and support for its customers across the region.
The ECIP programme brings several benefits to customers like Scoot. It reduces their upfront investment in inventory by shifting most of the burden to Embraer. Moreover, it offers fixed yearly pricing for the covered items, providing customers with financial predictability.
The programme’s data-driven approach includes weekly ordering recommendations based on customer parts consumption, ensuring efficient inventory management. With advanced software and dedicated stock, supported by Embraer’s planning expertise and global logistics network, ECIP customers can count on top-notch service and support.
