21st century supply chains (SC21)

welcome to SBAC's 21st century supply chains (SC21) website

Achieving supply chain improvement is critical to the continued competitiveness of the UK aerospace and defence industry. This key programme is overseen by SBAC's Enterprise Excellence Board and continues the work of the Aerospace Innovation and Growth Team.

SC21 aims to accelerate the competitiveness of the aerospace and defence industry. With international competition increasing, the participation of companies of all sizes throughout the UK supply chain is crucial to delivering real results from this modernisation programme.
