Macro-Managing Your MRO Inventory

by Doug Wallace

The mission of the maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) warehouse is to have the right parts at the right place at the right time. Too often, that objective is achieved by simply stuffing the storeroom to the gills. Some organizations do a better job of trying to determine realistic stocking plans based on criticality, estimated requirements, supplier lead times and other variables, but then fail to review them periodically to ensure the assumptions used in developing the stocking plans are still valid.

Achieving Cost Reduction Targets Through MRO Data Cleansing

As competition and technology continue to evolve in today’s industrial and manufacturing industries, companies are faced with the ever-increasing challenge of reducing costs and improving efficiency while maintaining production uptime. These manufacturing companies often have multiple sites spread across large geographic regions, each with thousands of MRO spare parts on hand to keep operations running. In such large organizations, several different employees enter items into various enterprise systems at each site with little or no standard guidelines and often in multiple languages. Over time, this lack of standardization causes materials data to become inconsistent and inaccurate, resulting in many negative effects that can be felt throughout all units of the business.
