The MRO (Maintenance, Repair, Operations) inventory storeroom plays a critical and value added role in increasing maintenance productivity, improving asset performance and reducing MRO material costs.
An effective and efficient MRO storeroom operation can conservatively:
- Reduce maintenance material costs by 15 to 20%
- Increase maintenance productivity by 12 to 15%
- Reduce unplanned equipment downtime by 1 to 3%
Applying these ranges to your own values will show just how significant these improvements can be. As the saying goes “the dough is in MRO.” Download our Uptime magazine article on MRO excellence.
