In short, until the data from your MRO spare parts inventory and equipment bills of materials is standardized and enriched, it’s nearly impossible to achieve reliability goals. Most of the time, objectives are only partially met, leaving firm leadership to assume the full benefits they sought are out of reach.

Nothing could be farther from the truth.

By ignoring the need to standardize MRO data for your inventory and equipment, you are unable to make informed decisions about your MRO throughout its life cycle, creating a “snowball effect” of more costly failures impacting your maintenance and reliability outcomes:

• 22% of maintenance resources leave the storeroom without the right material in the right quantity.
• 30% of parts in the storeroom will never be used.
• 50% (or more) of open work orders result from parts not being available or ready.
• 26% of purchase orders require manual rework due to bad data.
• 30% of item data in catalogs is incorrect, with 15% of the catalog consisting of duplicates.
• 7% of inventory growth is due to non-moving MRO inventory.

Best-practices MRO data management contributes significantly to operational cost competitiveness for your company.
