Abstract
The Nigerian aviation industry is currently undergoing some reforms and it is the researchers' believe that Information system management can be deployed in addition to excellent personnel service to provide operational efficiency in an aerospace industry. The purpose of this paper is to describe our research experiences in building an Aerospace Information System aimed at providing a comprehensive range of commercial services to the aerospace and airline industries in Nigeria. In this effort, we designed and implemented an Aerospace Information System (AIS) as an enterprise resource planning platform to facilitate any desired level of integration. Using the Structured System Analysis and Design Methodology (SSADM) to conduct a systematic study of our country's aviation industry, we uncovered the underlining current problem areas and implemented a suite of software that was able to achieve, among other things, a transformation of the relationships in the supply chain and enhanced customers satisfaction, as transactions were made easier via the use of electronic communications.
