Have you been involved with MRO projects where you felt the effort never achieved its full potential? Whether these were focused on improving reliability, increasing machine uptime, refining asset utilization, and/or improving maintenance work streams, it’s likely all of them had one thing in common — non-standardized or poor-quality data. Creating a project plan and formulating optimal decisions to improve a production environment has to start with quality MRO data. Without it, your projects may not accomplish critical objectives and therefore not attain the full success you anticipate.
In short, until the data from your MRO spare parts inventory and equipment bills of materials is standardized and enriched, it’s nearly impossible to achieve reliability goals. Most of the time, objectives are only partially met, leaving firm leadership to assume the full benefits they sought are out of reach.
Nothing could be farther from the truth.
By ignoring the need to standardize MRO data for your inventory and equipment, you are unable to make informed decisions about your MRO throughout its life cycle, creating a “snowball effect” of more costly failures impacting your maintenance and reliability outcomes:
- 22% of maintenance resources leave the storeroom without the right material in the right quantity.
- 30% of parts in the storeroom will never be used.
- 50% (or more) of open work orders result from parts not being available or ready.
- 26% of purchase orders require manual rework due to bad data.
- 30% of item data in catalogs is incorrect, with 15% of the catalog consisting of duplicates.
- 7% of inventory growth is due to non-moving MRO inventory.
Best-practices MRO data management contributes significantly to operational cost competitiveness for your company. Yet, to reach this pinnacle, it is imperative that every strategic plan begins with having the right data processes to standardize and govern your MRO data.
