It is no secret that global food prices have surged since 2021, sparking significant inflation. In the UK alone, inflation for food prices peaked at 19% in early 2023, the highest in more than 45 years.

Significant savings from reduced downtime and inventory optimization.

The Request for Proposal (#RFP) is often an integral part in the search for a competent partner to manage MRO spare parts. Its objective is to establish equal footing for respondents in the decision-making process, one where different levels of expertise and services can be fairly evaluated. But is it the right direction to take? Our experts weigh in on the process, offering tips and other recommendations in our latest article: https://weare.rs/3Ycglot #WeAreRS #RFP #MRO #supplychainmanagement RS Group plc RS

Clearly, there are benefits to outsourcing your #MRO supply chain. Reducing risk around the costs and delivery of spare parts is right at the top of that list. That is largely because of the impact those elements have on production and profit. Outsourcing also offers benefits like vendor consolidation, reduced transactional processing and even optimized inventory. But there is also a benefit around #ESG – Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance. An MRO integrator is well positioned to drive implementation and compliance with ESG standards. We talk more about that in this recent article: https://weare.rs/4dOW3r0 #WeDeliverBrilliantly #WeDotheRightThing RS Group plc RS
