Spare parts go digital: a boost for the industrial spare parts business

Five percent of spare parts could currently be stored in digital warehouses. This would make parts more quickly and easily available, while creating considerable cost savings. Digitalisation will also enable individual customisation and an increase in the intelligence of parts.

The Top 10 Improvements to Pursue in Your MRO Spare Parts Program

Proactive organizations recognize that one of the critical success factors in achieving a best practices reliability program is developing a sound maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) spare parts program. That notion is quickly followed by the realization that there are potentially hundreds of improvement opportunities that typically could be associated with a materials management effort. As such, it becomes overwhelming to determine where to start.

A Perfect Storm for an MRO Stockroom Crisis

There is a multi-headed monster of a crisis barreling toward us. 

This crisis in the sourcing, stocking and justifying of maintenance, repairs and operations (MRO) spares has been developing since the 1990s and will likely get worse before it gets better. The core of the crisis and the reasons for it are distinct. These distinct contributors form the perfect storm of trouble for any maintenance department, especially ones that have implemented lean principles. The solution is surprisingly in the domain of asset management.

MRO Best Practices Special Report

MRO Best Practices Special Report

A good maintenance storeroom is a well-oiled machine. Imagine 99.9 percent service levels for critical spares or window wait times under 10 minutes 95 percent of the time. A great storeroom gives you the capability to figure out what unidentified parts actually are or to know when your special-order parts hit the receiving dock.

The MRO Best Practices Report explores the conditions of successful storerooms, as well as those with little or no expertise in maintenance spare parts management. Results and insights on the Reliabilityweb.com Maintenance Management Benchmarking Survey are also included.

Be a Better Buyer with Closed Loop MRO Purchasing

You can tell a lot about a maintenance organization by observing how it purchases and consumes repair parts. Reactive organizations only seem to have time to “keep it running.” They don’t have time to shop for the best deals. Instead, they send the same noncompetitive purchase orders to the same vendors and take whatever pricing they get. And their receiving dock looks like a major courier service depot – full of emergency shipments. Cycle counts are mysteriously high because received parts aren’t always checked into inventory. Or, cycle counts are mysteriously low because parts are not always checked out of inventory and/or are lost to theft.

Reliability and the MRO Supply Chain: 4 Essential Tools

Many companies continue to struggle with the maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) issue by ignoring or at least tolerating the existence of the MRO storeroom and the necessary operations around it. Few companies work to improve the MRO function in the supply chain and some do not even consider MRO storeroom management as part of plant operations at all. Others are striving to strike a balance in managing MRO.

Fixing the Broken Model of Equipment Maintenance for African Farms

For a variety of reasons including food security and a desire to become independent of reliance on oil revenue, several nations in Africa and elsewhere (e.g. Azerbaijan) are working hard to increase agriculture production. However, their efforts are hampered by the fact that the traditional model for the provision equipment maintenance does not work for these countries. TractorExport's new model that features mobile mechanics and just in time parts inventory supply is changing the game for African farms. TractorExport will explain next about the new model and real-world impact.
