Maintenance organizations need the right material, in the proper quantity, at the right time.

If these essential requirements are not fulfilled, your maintenance efforts will prove to be ineffective. In today’s business landscape, ensuring proper accountability for materials is not an option, especially considering the downsizing trend in industrial operations. Most companies hold a significant inventory of spare parts, valued anywhere from a few hundred dollars to millions of dollars, to address any unforeseen issues. However, this practice comes at a high cost.

To improve this situation, it is crucial to access accurate data and implement refined control measures. Moreover, both maintenance and material control personnel bear a joint responsibility for ensuring plant profitability. Collaboration between these two departments is essential in the current scenario. To enhance the productivity of maintenance resources, it is imperative to adopt effective planning methods, establish appropriate organizational structures, and implement techniques for optimal management and control of maintenance inventory.
