MRO Supply Chain Best Practices


Spare parts, materials, and supplies for Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) often represent millions of dollars in inventory – yet the majority sits unused year after year. Furthermore, items on hand often can’t be found (both physically and within enterprise software) resulting in production delays, duplicate inventory and unnecessary spending. Developed by MRO Professionals for MRO Professionals, MRO Connection helps you address these issues. We go far beyond just the storeroom or warehouse, or just the purchasing and procurement functions, to address:
- The quality and accuracy of your MRO data – material descriptions, order points/quantities, lead times, and more
- How data is collected, delivered and integrated into EAM/CMMS/ERP systems
- Storeroom “best practices” such as design, layout, staffing, technologies, organization, and day-to-day operations.
- All processes and supporting infrastructure for end-to-end MRO supply chain management
