MRO Inventory & Critical Spares Management Optimization

This 2-day masterclass provides practical strategies to optimize MRO inventory and critical spares management. Participants will learn how to maximize asset performance, extend equipment lifespan, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure safety and compliance through data-driven spare parts management. The course equips professionals to transform storerooms from a cost center into a strategic asset that directly supports operational reliability and efficiency.

WHY ATTEND THIS MASTERCLASS?

Most if not all industries have a storeroom to keep parts of their equipment they need from time to time but not all these industries have the knowledge or know how to manage their storeroom and spare parts. In fact, the Storeroom and Spare Parts is one of the functions on where maintenance can save on cost and almost every industry have a horrible story to tell on their storeroom that they have experience. With the absence of a sound strategy on spare parts most of us rely on vendor on what to stock which end up as non-moving most of the time.

Salvo Global’s 2-day course of MRO Inventory & Spare Parts Management Optimization will help attendees learn proven strategies on how they can improve and optimize their spare parts and storeroom. This might be the missing link in improving your reliability and maintenance strategy.

Top Learning Objectives

  • Maximize asset value and performance Ensure assets operate reliably and efficiently to support business objectives, which involves proactive monitoring and predictive maintenance rather than reactive repairs.
  • Extend Asset Lifespan: Implement strategic maintenance plans to slow down asset degradation, preventing premature failure and reducing the frequency of costly replacements or overhauls.
  • Optimize MRO Efficiency and Costs: Use data driven insights to schedule maintenance activities efficiently, ensuring the right resources, parts, and personnel are available when and as needed. This minimizes downtimes and avoids unnecessary repairs or emergency maintenance costs.
  • Ensure Safety and Compliance: Guarantee that all assets meet regulatory and safety Proper asset management tracks maintenance records and compliance requirements, mitigating risk and liability.
  • Facilitate Informed Decision -Making: Provide a clear understanding of the condition and performance of all assets. This allows management to make strategic decisions regarding the repair.
