Supply Chain Management can generate significant cost savings, productivity gains, and competitive advantages for those companies that adopt leading-edge practices. But few companies have extended those best practices to include their sourcing and management of materials, equipment, and supplies for Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) and other indirect spends. Why haven't companies focused on indirect/MRO supply chain management? Because it is fundamentally different than direct materials, and often more difficult to manage. MRO is characterized by widely dispersed inventories and purchasers, high volumes of requisitions, hundreds or even thousands of suppliers, and seemingly unpredictable consumption patterns. By nature, it requires complex labor and materials management practices just to ensure the right person, with the right parts, repairs the right asset, at the right time. But for asset intensive organizations, the cost savings can be significant and result in an absolute advantage in their marketplace.
Team of Industry Experts
BDM Consulting has assembled experts and global best practices into a proprietary MRO FrameWorX™ solution that delivers the most cost effective, lean, and sustainable Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) processes for your business. We evaluate your business processes against global best practices and design lean solutions that maximize your MRO investment!
- How much annual capital is wasted in your company’s current MRO operations?
- How much of the inventory and supply chain strategies are sub-optimized resulting in higher operational costs?
The MRO FrameWorX™ solution analyzes these impacts and identifies direct and indirect savings for your company. It focuses on the demand characteristics of your company’s assets and the integrated supply of MRO items supporting those assets. This approach identifies critical resources including, labor, materials, technology, and policies that support the operational assets. The non-value added resources include specific MRO items that are identified to reduce waste and drive direct cost savings. These recommendations are clearly outlined in a detailed MRO FrameWorX™ report with core strategies to improve your MRO investment. In addition, BDM Consulting has the resources and expertise to transform these recommended strategies into sustainable solutions working closely with your team.
Achieve MRO Operational Agility
Achieving MRO operational agility is a challenge given the number of organizations and work streams impacted by the demand for critical and routine maintenance parts. Most organizations understand the cost and impact of not having the right MRO items to support operations but fail to optimize their MRO supply at all levels. We can quickly and effectively construct MRO operational practices that streamline supply chain and inventory stocking practices along with the integration of core technology and polices for achieving results.
The bottom line is we enable your organization to effectively plan, order, procure, reserve, schedule, and deliver MRO materials to established maintenance requirements. We can compare your current practices with global best practices and recommend strategies or we can start with global best practices and collaborate with your team to customize MRO practices that fit your requirements.
