Abstract: In the aerospace industry, the management of complex projects and interfaces with suppliers from all over the world are a daily challenge. Therefore, it is imperative that aerospace companies reinforce their configuration and supply chain management processes to better control product evolution and integrate all players to deliver products and services with a high level of quality as well as to enhance their levels of reliability and competitiveness in the marketplace. Thus, this study examines the relevance of Configuration Management (CM) in Supply Chain Management (SCM) in the aerospace industry. It also identifies some important issues when the relationship between these processes is not well established, and it proposes good practices to integrate such processes and provide benefits to stakeholders.
