An award-winning software tool covering the four areas of operations for suppliers dealing with Airbus -- through the entire procurement process, across the whole aircraft lifecycle, for both flying and non-flying goods and services. Airbus/EADS Sourcing The Sourcing domain allows buyers and suppliers to exchange online requirements and proposals during calls for tender and reverse auctions. This paperless process, from the identifying of a potential supplier to the final contract, ensures secured exchanges and fairness between suppliers. Suppliers have the opportunity to inform Airbus buyers about their capabilities through a self-registration process on the Airbus sourcing tool at: www.esourcing.airbus.com/Sourcing Sup@irWorld BuySide The BuySide domain is the facility for ordering General Procurement goods and services. It supports a harmonised and automated ordering process across all Airbus entities from the initial request to payment approval. It is now possible to search, select and order items from electronic catalogues negotiated at an Airbus/EADS level. Non-catalogue items can be requested in "free text" to ensure that all procurement requests go through BuySide. Sup@irWorld eSupplyChain The eSupplyChain domain covers the whole supply chain cycle, from the initial request to suppliers down to the invoicing, including dispatch, transport, receiving and storage of goods through an integrated collaboration workplace. Sup@irWorld Foundation The Foundation domain forms a cornerstone of the overall Sup@irWorld tool. It provides details of all suppliers and their products, and a set of reporting tools to support decision making. Access to Sup@irWorld Suppliers can access the sourcing and supply chain tools through the Supplier Portal at w3.airbussupply.com

Airbus Procurement is responsible for providing externally sourced goods and services to time, cost and quality requirements as agreed with the Airbus programmes and operations functions. Procurement implements standards, policies and processes across all of Airbus and its supply chain. This allows Procurement to manage its relations with suppliers, monitor their performance and drive corrective and improvement actions in close collaboration with Manufacturing and Quality. If you are a potential supplier to Airbus or to one of its suppliers, identify the appropriate contact level within the Airbus supply chain. For small and medium sized companies, the points of contact will be our 1st and 2nd tier suppliers. Please use any existing contacts you may already have with these suppliers. For companies already supplying Airbus, please use your existing Airbus contacts as your continuing point of interface. If you are interested in working with Airbus or have technical innovations to propose, please register through the Airbus/EADS Sourcing Tool. The Airbus/EADS Sourcing Tool allows you to describe your capabilities to Airbus buyers who will then contact you directly, if applicable. Airbus/EADS Sourcing also allows buyers and suppliers to exchange requirements and proposals on-line during a call for tender. Airbus and its supply base have grown considerably and successfully over the past 30 years. We welcome existing and new suppliers to work with us to achieve even more success.
