Wipro at the MRO Terminal with Nippon Airways

BANGALORE, INDIA: Wipro has engaged in a partnership with ANA (All Nippon Airways) of Japan for three years, transforming ANA’s Material Management system.

The system will strengthen regulatory compliance, predict parts demand better and help manage inventory levels. The new Materials Management system will be built in a scalable, flexible platform, it says in a press release.

The new system will help ANA increase its cost competitiveness, improve the quality of its aircraft part maintenance business and improve asset management. Wipro will manage the complete program, delivering services such as Application Development, Program Management and Vendor management thereby enabling ANA to gain a sustainable competitive advantage.
