Defence organisations face imperatives to rebuild, modernise, and future-proof their capabilities. Multifaceted challenges are reshaping the defence sector, emphasising the need for resilient, sustainable, and cost-effective approaches to meet evolving national security requirements
01
Reliability
+
In response to shifting global dynamics, there is a requirement for significant rebuild of depleted inventories and modernisation of equipment and capabilities within defence. However, there are challenges with ramp up demands and material shortages or availability.
Our reliable solutions will deliver to your KPI requirements and Continuous Improvement initiatives will continue to protect your supply chain commitments to the MOD today and in the future.
02
Resilience
+
Resilience in defence involves managing risks, diversifying suppliers, and promoting onshoring.
‘Just in time’ is no longer seen as industry best practice and global incidents continue to cause supply chain volatility.
Our operations in 21 countries globally and UK footprint allow us to provide global flexibility to adapt at any point, should the scope or volumes change in any capacity.
03
Future-Proof
+
The UK defence industry is undergoing a transformation, with a focus on the need to drive logistics and business modernisation and improvements. This initiative impacts all areas of the sector, including OEMs, tiered suppliers, and support services contracts.
04
Sustainability
+
Sustainability and national security are interlinked, and the sector has a responsibility to contribute to a sustainable future.
We ensure our business operations are managed in a sustainable and environmentally sound manner, using creative problem solving and collaboration with customers to optimise our environmental processes and foster new initiatives.
We are actively taking steps collaboratively with our customers to be net zero scope 3 in 2030 and net zero in scope 1 & 2 by 2040 in line with the Paris Agreement.
05
Cost
+
OEMs and tiered suppliers have to focus on eliminating cost inefficiencies to stay competitive and resilient.
Not just a partner for today but also tomorrow, a key and unique element of our operational delivery approach is our focus on continuous improvement.
Through our unique ‘Unipart Way’ systems we possess proven tools and techniques (based on lean CI principles) to ensure that our experiences today always deliver better solutions tomorrow.
