Embraer launches program for supply chain efficiency

The innovative ONEChain Program enables the company to improve governance, standardise processes, reduce costs and expenses, and increase competitiveness, agility and productivity.

Embraer, a global leader in the aerospace industry, has finalised the implementation of the ONEChain Program, an initiative to support the Company growth’s strategy that leverages digital transformation to help improve the management of its supply chain. The ONEChain platform was designed to simplify and digitalise supply chain operations by fostering greater transparency, agility and collaboration through an integrated process that benefits both Embraer and its suppliers worldwide.

By adopting the best practices in the market, ONEChain's innovation has enabled the company to improve governance, standardise processes, reduce costs and expenses, and increase competitiveness, agility and productivity, as well as to digitise and unify a large part of the supply chain process.

“In addition to achieving enhanced operational efficiency, we have integrated all operations with our suppliers and partners in a single platform, which makes it possible to manage operations in real-time," says Roberto Chaves, Embraer's Executive Vice President of Global Procurement and Supply. "This guarantees a more levelled and uniform production of our products, a reduction in fixed and variable costs and more agile decision-making processes."

Recently, the ONEChain program was recognised at the Procurement Success Summit (PSS) in China, being awarded in two categories: Process Innovation Award and Procurement Ecosystem Award. The program has been implemented in Brazil and countries where Embraer operates: the United States, China and Singapore, as well as France, the Netherlands and Portugal.
