With the development of commercial airplanes, the entire aircraft supply chain is becoming more and more complex and involves more and more suppliers, which puts higher requirements on the supply chain management capability of the main manufacturer.The management of supply chain and related suppliers by international mainstream aircraft manufacturers has been relatively mature, and a set of relatively mature models and mechanisms have been formed from the direct control of the first-tier suppliers to the control of the first-tier suppliers over the sub-suppliers.On the contrary, due to the late development of domestic large aircraft, production delivery is just starting, the main manufacturer for the supply chain and even sub-supplier management is still at the stage of figuring out.This paper combines the supply chain management concept and the main manufacturer's actual supplier management experience, based on the idea of forward design, identifies the concerns of commercial airplanes in subsupplier management, and establishes an evaluation model of sub-supplier management for commercial airplanes.The research results provide new ideas for managing sub-suppliers for the main manufacturer.
