Interesting read. In my experience, most spare parts inventory managers and planners are doing at least one of the don'ts. #spareparts #inventorymanagement #engineering #fieldservice #warehousemanagement #materialrequirementsplanning #mrp #maintenanceplanning

The impact of MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) industrial items on machine breakdowns or machine repairs is significant and multifaceted. Here are several ways MRO items can influence the maintenance and repair processes of machines: 1.Preventive Maintenance:MRO items such as lubricants, filters, seals, and belts are essential for conducting preventive maintenance tasks. Regularly scheduled maintenance, facilitated by the availability of MRO items, helps identify and address potential issues before they escalate into costly breakdowns. 2.Downtime Reduction:Having the necessary MRO items readily available reduces downtime associated with machine breakdowns. Quick access to spare parts, tools, and consumables streamlines repair and maintenance procedures, minimizing production disruptions and ensuring continuous operations. 3.Efficient Repairs:MRO items contribute to the efficiency of machine repairs by providing the required components and supplies for technicians to diagnose and fix issues promptly. This includes replacement parts, fasteners, adhesives, and specialized tools tailored to specific equipment. 4.Inventory Management:Proper inventory management of MRO items ensures that essential components are stocked in sufficient quantities. This prevents delays in repair activities caused by stockouts or long lead times for procurement, enabling timely response to maintenance needs. 5.Quality and Reliability:The quality and reliability of MRO items directly impact the performance and longevity of machines. Using high-quality components and materials for repairs enhances equipment reliability, reduces the likelihood of recurring failures, and prolongs asset lifespan. 6.Cost Control:Effective MRO management helps control maintenance and repair costs by optimizing inventory levels, minimizing emergency purchases, and leveraging supplier relationships for competitive pricing. Proactive maintenance practices supported by MRO items also mitigate the risk of expensive breakdowns and associated downtime. 7. Safety and Compliance: MRO items play a crucial role in ensuring workplace safety and regulatory compliance. Safety equipment, personal protective gear, and maintenance tools contribute to a safe working environment for technicians performing repairs and maintenance tasks. In summary, MRO industrial items have a substantial impact on machine breakdowns and repairs by facilitating preventive maintenance, reducing downtime, enabling efficient repairs, optimizing inventory management, enhancing equipment reliability, controlling costs, and ensuring safety and compliance. Proper management and utilization of MRO items are essential for maximizing equipment uptime and operational efficiency in industrial settings. #mro #purchasemanager #enduser #factories #indirectprocurement #vmi #inventoryoptimization #savings #preventativemaintenance #breakdown #downtown

Peak is almost here. Are you ready? Malfunctioning equipment, insufficient maintenance staff or missing a key spare part can derail a warehouse operation’s performance during peak. Now’s the time to get all your equipment ready for action. This equipment, which often only runs a portion of the day under normal circumstances, will be tasked with running continuously from Thanksgiving through Christmas. Performing preventative and proactive maintenance and repairs can ensure the machinery can handle the intensity, because once peak hits, there is no room for error. We recommend warehouse operations conduct an annual maintenance program. Our goal at GEODIS is to have all maintenance and equipment upgrades complete by the end of October, with all systems ready to go by Nov. 1. The best way to keep your automation machinery in top form is through a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), which can do the heavy lifting of preventative maintenance scheduling, work order management, spare parts inventory management and maintenance history as well as reporting and analytics to help manage a successful program. However, as we all know, even the best laid plans might go awry, so a well-trained and fully staffed automation maintenance team is critical. As your operation ramps up to cover more hours, so should your maintenance team so they are at the ready if any issues occur. What are you doing to prepare your warehouse automation for peak?

Protecting your warehouse operations from unplanned downtime is more important than ever. Using these four best practices can ensure your operation will have the right part at the right time. #optimization #parts #warehouseoperations #bestpractices

Spare parts management is essential to ensure efficiency and continuity of operations on the shop floor. The main objectives include:

Spare parts are important section of the maintenance, and any leakage in parts could lead to breakdown that is unplanned cost. From another angel of view, having over spare parts will mean bad using resources, spare parts cost money, and store them cost money and time. The best set is find the right number or spares for each parts in the right place and right time. Spare part Management is an important element of maintenance, and it developed also. Any delay in delivering the spare parts means also delay in the production. The delay could be happening in finding the right spare parts, delivering, processing, and handling. From another angle, having many spare parts will mean extra cost, time, and resources that the companies have to supply. In the attached research (Spare parts management potential in production sector) by Eng. Abbas Al-Bawi in Malardalen University - Sweden, spare parts management system of seven companies has been studied. By comparing of the management systems, they highlight the areas that would have negative or positive impact on the system. They would also analysis why the companies have chosen these systems, how they develop the system, and where they aim throw the development. Furthermore, to understand the importance of the spare parts, a fundamental knowledge of maintenance types, spare parts, spare parts management, spare parts classifications, ABC analysis, Economic order quantity, suppliers’ management, purchase management, and management computer programs. #management #manufacturing #spareparts #maintenance #purchasing
