Provides Practical Guidance

It’s Like Phillip is Coaching You One-on-One

Phillip Slater’s latest book Spare Parts Inventory Management continues his unique and engaging writing style.  Phillip draws on his decades of experience in spare parts management and delivers a book that is pleasantly conversational, as if I am sitting across the table from him and he is coaching me one-on-one.  His book is also unique as it addresses the full life cycle of spares, from initial requirements forecasting through to use and final disposal.

Clearly Shows the Unique Nature of Spare Parts Management

Phillip clearly shows the unique nature of spare parts management versus other types of inventory – distinctions that require different considerations in planning and control. In easy to understand terms, Phillip dispels the myths associated with spares and provides practical guidance on critical spare parts policies and best practices that favorably impact the bottom line. 

Belongs on the Shelf or Every Spare Parts Organization

Spare Parts Inventory Management is practitioner oriented and belongs on the shelf in every spare parts organization. I definitely would recommend Phillip’s book to my clients and students.
