Inventory Management Workshop

Two Days Face-to- Face with Phillip Slater, Spare Parts Inventory Management Specialist and Founder of SparePartsKnowHow.com

 
Identifying the spare parts that are critical to your ongoing operations is perhaps one of the most important and yet least understood aspects of spare parts inventory management.

Many companies have a working definition of criticality, but it is too narrow to be of any real value. Others set parameters that don’t really reflect the critical nature of the parts. And some companies seem to have a ‘wait and see’ approach that only defines criticality after the event!

Effectively managing MRO and critical spare parts inventory requires an holistic approach that understands the full life-cycle of spare parts inventory management.

This extensive two-day spare parts inventory management workshop will enable you to implement a best-in-class approach for MRO and critical spare parts management.

This comprehensive workshop will cover:

• The uniqueness of spare parts management
• Financial considerations
• Metrics and reporting
• Policies and procedures
• Managing rotable and repairable spares
• Best practices
• Deciding what to stock
• Capital equipment and first time buy
• Identifying and managing critical spares
• Setting the Re-Order Point (ROP) and Re-Order Quantity (ROQ)
• Inventory optimization
• Managing obsolescence, end of life, and last time buy

The workshop is interactive, includes a 45 page workbook, exercises and plenty of time for your questions.
