Boeing и Airbus нам не пример, а к заводам СССР надо присмотреться: аутсорс в авиапроме — не для России?

Enterprises are mastering the production of parts themselves due to quality problems with suppliers

The idea of outsourcing will not work in the Russian aviation industry; it is much easier for enterprises to independently master specific parts for the production of aircraft. The head of one of the defense enterprises of Tatarstan shared this opinion with Business Online.

According to him, due to a sharp increase in volumes, something had to be outsourced, but as a result, everything quickly returned to normal.

Because they received a lot of quality problems and went back: it's better to buy a machine and suffer myself.

Unique technology

The source emphasized that each factory has a unique technology that was created by generations of specialists. It is possible to reproduce it within someone else's walls, but it is very expensive in terms of money and time. Practice has shown that an outsourced part is significantly more expensive.

The former General Director of the Kazan Aviation Plant, Vasil Kayumov, expressed the opposite point of view. He is confident that the idea of outsourcing a number of productions was correct.

We admire Airbus and Boeing, which make 40 aircraft per month, but at what cost? They gave everything away. Here is a piece of iron that could be made in England, but is made in Japan, and it turns out cheaper, even despite the logistics costs.

Fear of responsibility

Another source of Business Online urged not to compare the Russian aviation industry with Airbus and Boeing with their mass production. Outsourcing in our country only increases the cost of the final product and lengthens the production cycle, he assures.

Few people in their right mind would take on such an order. Firstly, although they don’t talk about it, the situation in the industry is difficult — a cascade of non-payments. Money is not given even for completed contracts, they ask to negotiate with counterparties, payment is postponed for a cosmic period, although at the same time funds are lying in the accounts. Secondly, everyone is afraid of responsibility. To organize even elementary cooperation, you have to travel all over the country, and it can only be built thanks to personal connections.
