Project Overview
Airbus UK is a successful European aircraft manufacturer. It is currently experiencing an existing evolution in the development and production of the new A380 super jumbo aircraft. The Airbus site at Filton manufactures wing assemblies and testing facilities amongst others.
Acuity was appointed by Airbus to review its property portfolio and FM and maintenance function at Filton, which comprises over 150 buildings on a 500-acre site in Bristol.
Acuity was responsible for the identification and management of significant cost savings and working efficiencies within the FM & Maintenance provision.
The re-engineering programme currently underway was as a direct result of the ‘business & improvement'' audits undertaken previously.
The organisation & performance levels were benchmarked against ‘best practice'' generating improvement initiatives based on cost savings and working efficiencies.
As part of the rationalisation and consolidation programme, Airbus, based on Acuity''s recommendations will be undertaking a considerable outsourcing exercise.
Acuity was retained to develop, manage and deliver the procurement strategy and from inception to completion.
Acuity continues to provide on-going FM and Maintenance advice and support to Airbus and is responsible for ensuring value and continual improvement through formalised audits, technical and general advice.
"Acuity enabled AUK, Filton to identify, deliver and manage a complicated and sensitive process of outsourcing in a totally professional and accomplished manner"
