Executive Summary
If we could rephrase the saying that said “Desperate needs call for desperate measures”, we could change to “complex needs call for complex measures.” With this sentence we would pretty much sum up Airbus’s newest and biggest project ever to be created by them or any other commercial airplane manufacturer for a single plane in the world. The sourcing process of the Airbus 380, better known as A380, is a multifaceted series of events that lies in the hands of dozens of premium suppliers all over the world. These suppliers ship their immense parts by air, land and sea.
Most of the parts manufactured for this plane are directly manufactured by Airbus owned and operated plants all over Europe. However, there are many suppliers in North America and the Middle East that provide components as well.
Airbus takes great pride in their Logistics processes. Once the parts are ordered and produced an incredible journey begins. Huge airplanes are used to fly heavy components, gigantic sea barges cross the oceans with massive part planes on board, and finally immense trucks carrying massive components cross through European cities as if they were giant moving factories.
