Why MRO Aggregation is a Game-Changer for Businesses In today’s fast-paced industrial landscape, efficiency and cost-effectiveness are paramount. That’s where MRO aggregation comes into play. By centralizing the procurement of Maintenance, Repair, and Operations supplies, businesses can unlock significant benefits: Cost Savings: Aggregation leads to bulk purchasing, resulting in lower prices and better terms with suppliers. This directly impacts the bottom line. Streamlined Processes: With a single point of contact for MRO needs, companies can reduce administrative overhead and simplify procurement processes. Improved Inventory Management: Aggregation allows for better inventory control, minimizing stockouts and reducing excess inventory, leading to optimized working capital. Enhanced Supplier Relationships: Consolidating purchases strengthens relationships with key suppliers, ensuring better service levels, faster delivery times, and customized solutions. Data-Driven Decisions: Centralized MRO procurement provides valuable data insights, enabling informed decisions and continuous improvement in operational efficiency. In an environment where every operational detail counts, MRO aggregation is not just a procurement strategy—it’s a competitive advantage. Embrace it, and watch your business thrive. #MRO #Procurement #SupplyChain #OperationalExcellence #CostSavings

We always encourage prospects to look beyond piece price savings when exploring an MRO integrated supply solution. There is much more savings potential beyond the cost of spare parts. One international health & beauty manufacturer discovered exactly that after enlisting our services to drive MRO savings. Their massive complex included multiple manufacturing plants, but it lacked any process in managing MRO. There was no visibility into what was being purchased or what was needed. The only thing they did know is that their #MRO program was out of control, and they needed help.

A fundamental aspect of supply chain management is accurate demand forecasting. Some product items have an intermittent demand pattern that makes them all but impossible to forecast with traditional, smoothing-based forecasting methods. We address the problem of forecasting intermittent demand (or irregular demand), i.e. random demand with a large proportion of zero values. This pattern is characteristic of demand for companies that manage large inventories of service and spare parts in industries such as aviation, aerospace, automotive, high tech, and electronics, as well as in MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul). Accurate forecasting of demand is important in inventory control, but the intermittent nature of demand makes forecasting especially difficult for service parts planning. Similar problems arise when an organization manufactures slow-moving items and requires sales forecasts for planning purposes. Because forecasts of intermittent and lumpy demand have been so unreliable, most companies forecast inventory requirements relying primarily on subjective business knowledge, forecast only a fraction of their higher volume inventory, use simple “rule of thumb” estimates, or traditional statistical forecasting that incorrectly assumes a particular type demand distribution for inventory control.     Learn industry best practices on how to improve intermittent demand forecasting and create supply chain efficiencies in the link below. https://lnkd.in/drJ5vH6h #spareparts #inventory #MRO #Utilities #serviceparts
