The situation with the Belfast facility highlights a critical issue being discussed across the aerospace industry – how much outsourcing is optimal and what processes should be kept (or brought back) in-house. Now let's look at Dassault, which is also facing supply chain issues. In its latest earnings report on July 9, the company stated that "there are many shortages in our production lines due to supplier inefficiencies in some cases, especially in the aerostructure sector. "These difficulties have given rise to risks affecting Falcon and Rafale deliveries, and also impact customer support." To combat this, Dassault is focusing substantial resources on immediate deliveries, which should enable the manufacturer to meet near term delivery commitments. However, management has acknowledged that this shift in resources will likely result in delays in later deliveries, unless there are substantial changes in its supply chain. In that regard, Dassault is looking to substantially increase content from India.
