MRO stands for maintenance, repairs and operating supplies that consists of all the materials consumed during the production process that are not the part of final product. Suppliers of goods and services across different sectors such as energy industry, Iron and Steel Industry, transportation industry, aviation industry needs industrial machineries and MRO’s to manufacture their final product. They are involved in the production process and includes mechanical products such as pumps, valves, compressors, gear motors and all those materials which deliver a final product.
One of the most important MRO materials that are often underestimated by industries and companies are MRO chemicals that are used for repair and overhaul purposes such as cleaners and degreasers, greases and oils, adhesives, sealants and many others depending upon the type of industry function.
The Connect Between MRO and Supply Chain
Since MRO has a much less share in the COGS it is often neglected by the industries and companies. An efficient management of MRO inventory is vital for a better supply chain. If you run out of a vital chemical or tool that is a part of the production process you have to stop the production line immediately.
If the production line is stopped and you could not manage it just because of lack of MRO materials or process, it would lead to hundreds of employees sitting idle, you will miss on customer deliveries, costs will increase and the whole supply chain will be in trouble. In the same way if you miss out on safety tools and equipment you can endanger people’s lives.
Tips to manage MRO
The first and the foremost tip is to build a good supplier base who can deliver quality MRO materials needed for your industry across the year. Instead of focusing on many suppliers, pay attention to smaller number of good options.
The second tip is to have a dedicated personnel in charge for the MRO operations who keep a proper track of the MRO resources. He/ She must be made responsible for the preparation of metrics for sourcing and stocking materials.
The third is to ensure legitimacy of the products purchased since the chances to buy defective MRO items is fairly high which can lead to a backlog in supply chain.
