ABSTRACT={A global national project concerning French Aeronautic Business started in France in 2014, after one year of preparation and alignment between all stakeholders. The target was to support the Operational Performance improvement of French Aeronautic SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises). A total of 401 companies were supported with a common methodology. A cluster with a supportive approach was selected to engage both suppliers and customers. Local and regional economical stakeholders were also included. This supportive method was innovative as several SMEs (not competitors) were supported at the same time and in the same region with the same facilitator and for the same customer. To leverage the workload, several waves were organized between 2014 and 2016. The current publication summarizes the results of 306 companies of the original 401 companies. The support of the last waves of companies were finished when the analysis shared in the current document was published.}}
