Description: GE’s $10.5 billion aircraft engine unit is among the fastest-moving big, original-equipment makers to do business online. On customized Web pages, airlines can order engine parts, submit warranty claims, get repair work updates and look up service manuals. With most of its 300 customers expected to be hooked up in the next few months, GE predicts online sales will reach $1 billion by year’s end. GE is also setting up a separate site for its 500 suppliers and hopes to see big cost savings in holding auctions for materials purchases.
