USM by Liebherr: An Additional Material Service Solution
July 2018 – Liebherr-Aerospace will include Used Serviceable Materials (USM) as part of its services to customers. USM by Liebherr will be available across the worldwide network of the company and will be centrally managed from Liebherr-Aerospace’s Dubai Service Center.
Liebherr-Aerospace will source Liebherr systems and equipment from aircraft destined for dismantling. The company’s worldwide network of service centers will then release these units with appropriate airworthiness certification. Serviceable assets will be proposed to the market as alternatives to OEM parts in condition “New”, to help the customers optimize their operational costs when procuring OEM quality services such as replacements in case of high value repairs, exchanges and loans, stock leasing, pool access, stock replenishments, and outright purchase.
Joël Cadaux, Liebherr-Aerospace Customer Services’ Director Marketing & Sales, explains: “Legacy and mature fleets customers consider procuring alternative solutions to support their operations in a cost effective manner, including optimization of inventories and maintenance. The usage of serviceable materials is widely accepted by our customers and represents a legitimate option. Our initiative in this domain is aimed at satisfying customers’ demands in terms of performance as part of our drive to innovate with privilege solutions to meet market’s expectations.”
