Why Optimizing Maintenance, Repair, and
Operations (MRO) Inventory is Critical to
Advancing Your Enterprise Network
Despite its criticality and complexity, Maintenance, Repair, and Operating inventory is an area where most manufacturers still struggle to justify optimization investments. This primarily stems from companies focusing solely on their direct materials when it comes to materials management. However, MRO materials can make up anywhere from 5% to 30% of a manufacturing company’s spending. MRO optimization in your network is a proactive method for addressing risk in your supply chain while serving as a great place to expand your supply chain intelligence journey.
