Embraer, a global aerospace industry leader, and Kenya Airways, a leading African airline, today signed an agreement for the Embraer Collaborative Inventory Planning (ECIP) program, which will optimize its inventory levels and reduce its operational costs for its E190 jets. The contract will provide support for 13 aircraft. Kenya Airways is an Embraer customer since 2006 and flies to 45 destinations worldwide, 37 of which are in Africa, connecting over 5 million passengers.

"Embraer is honored by Kenya Airways' trust on the Collaborative Inventory Planning management system. We are ready to support the airline to keep its E-Jets fleet ready to fly, matching excellent performance and low operational costs. Our solution will provide Kenya Airways access to Embraer's global logistics network and deepen the partnership between our companies," says Carlos Naufel, President and CEO, Embraer Services & Support.

ECIP offers several advantages to customers. First, most of the inventory investment is made by Embraer, reducing substantially the investment usually carried out by customers. Also, fixed yearly pricing for each part allows customers to balance costs more precisely with performance levels guaranteed by Embraer Services & Support. The operation is data-driven, with a weekly ordering recommendation based on customer usage and stock level data that is created utilizing advanced software and Embraer Planning experience shared collaboratively. Finally, all customers participating in ECIP can count on Embraer's materials management expertise on a customized and flexible solution for spare parts management.
