Embraer Signs Service Contract With China's Kun Peng Airlines
ECIP program will support the EMBRAER 190 jet soon to enter service with the airline
(Sao Jose dos Campos, August 26, 2008) -- Embraer signed a five-year Embraer Collaborative Inventory Parts (ECIP) service contract with Kun Peng Airlines Co., Ltd., the newest E-Jets operator in China. Kun Peng currently has more than 1,900 part numbers from seven maintenance bases covered by ECIP.
"With this program, Kun Peng Airlines will optimize its spare parts supply chain by simplifying it," said Siu Ying Yeung, Vice President, Customer Support and Services -
Embraer China. "We increased our spare parts support assurance to Kun Peng through proactive participation in its supply process, which will result in great aircraft availability. This is win-win cooperation for both of us."
The ECIP program monitors customer parts usage, guarantees automatic stock replenishment, shortens delivery times for contracted parts, and establishes a baseline for the carriers to better manage their costs. By reducing the workload for planning, controlling and purchasing expendable parts, the airlines can also save management time for repairable items.
"Supported by ECIP, we expect to significantly reduce the operational risk of our EMBRAER 190 by having the spare parts supply well guaranteed," said Han Dexing, Vice President, Safety and Maintenance, Kun Peng Airlines. "We are looking forward to being covered by more Embraer service programs, and we firmly believe that due to the sound cooperation between both parties, the future operation of our EMBRAER 190 will be very good."
