Pain Points
~65K Material Records, $155M Inventory Value
- Inventory Hoarding
- High Non-Moving Stock
- Inflated Maintenance Costs
- Unplanned Downtime Risk
- Audit & Compliance Risk
- Poor Data Visibility
Solution
- Single Source of Truth: Cleansing and standardizing ~ 65K MRO records to eliminate ~11K duplicates and establish data integrity.
- Strategic Material Criticality: Leveraging industry specific algorithms (MCR, ABC, XYZ, VED) to align stock levels with actual asset risk.
- Cross-Functional Optimization: Linking 10K eBoMs to ISO 14224 standards to synchronize maintenance planning with warehouse reality.
- Smart Procurement Integration: Implementing JIT/VMI strategies for 30% of MRO contracts to improve cash flow.
