MRO Inventory Rationalization and Optimization

By Ralph Rio

MRO materials inventory often has many thousands of stocking units (SKU) in small quantities with multiple stocking locations and unpredictable demand - making inventory management difficult. Maintenance organizations tend to focus on work orders and the equipment while giving lower priority to managing MRO inventory. The lack of inventory optimization results in higher inventory levels, carrying costs, and operating disruptions.

Repairable Spares: The Complete Program

By Daniel DeWald, CPIM

The establishment of a repairable spares program is essential to complete a solid MRO (maintenance parts, repair, and operating supplies) management program. Repairing parts before the point of failure is a strategy that reduces maintenance costs, reduces purchasing dollars in buying new equipment, and reduces the need for an increased capital budgeting process.

Critical Success Factors for MRO and the Storeroom

Presented by Daniel DeWald, CPIM, CPMM SME Materials Management Professional Consultant, GPAllied

Critical success factors (CSF) are an essential part of the storeroom and MRO. They need to be identified and reviewed to insure success. They are not a key performance indicator, but instead are elements vital to strategize policies and management to be a winning sector of the overall maintenance direction.

 

The Importance of Organizing MRO Inventory & Purchasing

By Terry Wireman, CPMM, CMRP

MRO inventory and purchasing organizations are the single biggest maintenance support functions that contribute to low maintenance productivity. MRO inventory and purchasing, in this article, stands for maintenance, repair, and overhaul inventory and purchasing. Many maintenance labor delays are related to issues concerning materials and spare parts. Because the purchasing function typically procures the materials for the MRO storerooms, it also has a big impact on maintenance productivity.

Kitting best practices in the support of maintenance

An 45-minute long Webinar On Demand Led by Daniel DeWald, CPIM, CPMM SME Materials Management Professional Consultant, GP Allied

Discussed are Kitting best practices in the support of maintenance. There are four stages of Kitting -Pre-Kitting, Filling the Kit, Completion of the Kit, and Delivery. Each stage is unique when it is applied as a support to maintenance. Kitting is a coordinated effort between the planner, the storeroom, and maintenance.

Benefits that are expected when Kitting is fully implemented are-(1) Eliminates the craftsman searching for parts; (2) Improved communication between the planner, storeroom, and the craftsman; and (3) Deliveries to the job site decreases equipment downtime, and improves craftsman's productivity.

Participate to learn:

1) Kits require a secure area to stage and pick parts

2) Kits are to have all the parts filled before it is delivered.

3) Kits are delivered to the job site

Effective Cycle Counting

Effective Cycle Counting

An 9-minute iPresentation by Daniel DeWald, CPIM, GP Allied

Discussion involves the differences between a physical inventory once a year and a daily cycle count. A daily cycle count is preferred because it provides a continual measurement of inventory accuracy that is visible to both management and storeroom associates. Storeroom preparation to make cycle counting effective is essential and the steps are discussed to make this happen. Also scheduling counters and assigning tasks create responsibility and achieve more accurate inventories.

Removing Duplicate Part Numbers


Before you purchase software (such as "Fuzzy Duplicate Finder") to determine the duplicate part numbers in your storeroom, use the excel spreadsheet to break down the part numbers and descriptions into five categories---part number, noun, attribute, specifications, and further descriptions.

Once sorted it becomes very clear what part numbers are similar, but may be different. It enables you to physically check a few items to see if there is an actual match. Once found the
