Case Study

Lisi Aerospace

Optimize your purchasing processes with change management adapted to each user profile

Under the name of BeST, LISI Aerospace deployed Ivalua to manage its direct and indirect procurement.

OJC Consulting successfully contributed to the training strategies to ensure a quick and effective adoption of the solution.

Objectives


  Manage costs effectively with an item repository shared by all LISI Aerospace entities

  Align purchasing processes across different sites and share information in order to benefit from the best pricing conditions.

  Support all users in learning the new procedures.

Background


Founded in 1977, LISI Aerospace is a division of the French group LISI and specializes in the supply of fasteners and components for commercial and military aviation.

With more than 5500 employees worldwide, LISI Aerospace operates in 8 countries and offers innovative, high-quality solutions to meet the specific needs of the aerospace industry.

LISI Aerospace is committed to ensuring the safety, performance, and reliability of aircrafts thanks to its unique aerospace expertise.

 

Solution deployed


Thanks to Ivalua’s “Strategy & Analytics” modules, deployed in 2016, LISI Aerospace can control its expenses, measure its savings, and evaluate the performance of its buyers.

LISI Aerospace continued the deployment of the Ivalua suite with the integration of the “Contract & Catalogue” and “Procurement” modules in order to improve collaboration between the procurement officers and buyers and to streamline the procure-to-pay process for all categories of direct and indirect purchasing.

Integration


OJC and LISI Aerospace developed a “core model” applicable to all of the division’s sites consisting of testing, integration, training, and deployment in one month.

Emphasis was placed on the online training comprised of a variety of materials (videos, note cards, exercises) that allowed for quick learning and adoption of the new features. These materials, translated into multiple languages and customized for the different user populations, were used in trainings provided by OJC in the USA, Canada, France, and Turkey, as well as online sessions for other sites.
