Introduction
The supply chain is a key element within the Maintenance Repair Organisation (MRO), correctly managed it may contribute to the overall efficiency of the process, if it is not controlled in the best way the supply chain may easily contribute to unnecessary overhead.
When we talk about the aviation supply chain we are essentially talking about all stages which are involved in delivering the parts and materials where they are needed, when they are needed at the best possible cost. Moreover, consideration is given to transportation and logistics both within the organisation and external to the organisation, cost, quantity, and lead time being of relevance to the understanding.

Sofema Online (SOL) www.sofemaonline.com considers the key factors involved in the process of Aviation Risk Communication
Introduction
Related to your Safety System:
» Do you know who are your organisation primary stakeholders?
» How are you going to deliver and measure the effectiveness of your communication process?
» What communication tools will you use?
Communication-related to the risks faced by the organisation must happen throughout the risk management process.
Effective Communication means not only sharing safety information amongst your peer group but also flowing throughout the organisation, including “up” to the leadership team and “down” to the frontline staff.
All employees should feel comfortable expressing concern regarding safety matters without any fear of retribution from supervisors. (Embracing a “just culture” serves to encourage better and more open communication.)
