Embraer has finalised the implementation of the OneChain programme, an initiative to support the company growth’s strategy that leverages digital transformation to help improve the management of its supply chain.
The OneChain platform was designed to simplify and digitalise supply chain operations by fostering greater transparency, agility and collaboration through an integrated process that Embraer said benefits both itself and its suppliers worldwide.
Embraer said that OneChain has enabled the company to improve governance, standardise processes, reduce costs and expenses, increase competitiveness, agility, and productivity, as well as to digitise and unify a large part of the supply chain processes.
“In addition to achieving enhanced operational efficiency, we have integrated all operations with our suppliers and partners in a single platform, which makes it possible to manage operations in real-time,” said Roberto Chaves, Embraer’s EVP of global procurement and supply. “This guarantees a more levelled and uniform production of our products, a reduction in fixed and variable costs, and more agile decision-making processes.”
Recently, the OneChain programme was recognised at the Procurement Success Summit (PSS) in China, being awarded in two categories: Process Innovation Award and Procurement Ecosystem Award.
“Being recognised at this global, top-level procurement award ceremony makes us very proud of the OneChain programme, which is setting a new standard in digital transformation, supplier collaboration, and operational excellence,” said Chaves.
The programme has been implemented in Brazil and countries where Embraer operates: the USA, China, Singapore, as well as France, the Netherlands and Portugal.
