e-gatematrix's Global Logistics service includes both asset management and equipment balancing. By monitoring and auditing inventory levels across an airlines network and combining this information with Material Requirements Plans for each station, e-gatematrix is able to reduce network-wide inventory levels and station-specific consumption. Our Material Requirement Plans are built using forward looking information, such as the flight services schedule, passenger load forecast and aircraft equipment bill of materials for the galleys. By analyzing equipment inflows and outflows at each station, e-gatematrix can:

• Reduce overall network inventory levels
• Monitor and reduce Station consumption
• Lower Logistics Costs
• Warehousing and transportation/distribution

With proven experience in handling global logistics for food, beverages, technical equipment, rotables and disposables, e-gatematrix can manage airline-owned assets on a global basis and provide cost-efficient warehousing and transportation options based on our global network of distribution and freight forwarding partners.

Based on our LOGIC technology, e-gatematrix can predict consumption needs at the item level for each station (using airline flight schedules and passenger load forecasts), compare this information with current inventory levels and expected deliveries to produce a Material Requirements Plan for each station. The ability to understand the flow of products around your network allows e-gatematrix to lower the overall carrying and management costs associated with airline-owned inflight assets.

Benefits Include:

• Better control and visibility of inventory
• Reduce inventory levels
• Identify inventory shrinkage and over consumption by station
• Improve product consistency across network
• Reduce product shortages and substitutions
• Decrease need for expediting and rush deliveries, thereby lowering costs
