Software offers Exostar integration and automatic schedule update

Software offers Exostar integration and automatic schedule updateExo-View is a specialised software package that will enable component suppliers to efficiently integrate with Exostar, the e-procurement system favoured by aerospace and aero-engine manufacturers which is used to keep their global sub-contract suppliers informed of delivery requirements.

Exostar based requirement schedules are normally updated and issued weekly and a new issue can, for most component suppliers, involve manual scanning through hundreds of line items on multiple spreadsheet pages to ascertain the changes from the previous issue. This task, which due to the serious implications of any error, is usually carried out by a senior manager.

Exo-View automatically compares the latest Exostar requirements with existing production schedules to highlight the changes using a very simple traffic light method of identification that has resulted in one aerospace sub-contractor user, Kenard Engineering of Dartford, reducing the task of finding and then determining any repercussions of any changes, from a full time senior manager’s job performed every week, to a simple two- or three-hour routine.
