Coordination
Supply Chain
Aerospace Supply Chain
The aerospace supply chain is governed by three root constraints that interact to produce extreme concentration, decades-long supplier lock-in, and a system where every component must be traceable from raw material to flight: certification requirements make every part a regulated article, product lifecycles measured in decades force suppliers to support platforms long after production ends, and integration complexity across millions of parts from thousands of suppliers creates coordination demands that few organizations can manage.
Defense Supply Chain
The defense supply chain is governed by three root constraints that interact to produce extreme supplier concentration, glacial production timelines, and a system where political decisions — not market demand — determine what gets built and how much: monopsony buyer structure means the government is typically the only customer, security classification requirements restrict who can manufacture, supply, and even know what is being produced, and production rate inflexibility means defense manufacturing runs at low volumes with specialized tooling where surge capacity barely exists because maintaining idle lines for contingencies has no commercial justification.
