MRO for Procurement 2018

Frustrated by problems with spare parts availability? Concerned that you have spent too much money but still can’t seem to get what you need, when you need it? Not sure which ‘best practices’ will actually make a difference?

This two-day special event will give your organization the insight to gain greater control of your MRO and spare parts inventory spend, address your key issues with MRO and spare parts inventory management and unlock the significant hidden costs-savings associated with MRO procurement.

This unique, specialized, and focused conference examines issues such as who should own and control MRO and spare parts, why most companies underestimate its importance, and how to develop a good MRO strategy that can improve your bottom line.
This conference answers the fundamental question of ‘How can procurement, spare parts management, maintenance, and service professionals work together to deliver the right spare parts to provide to customers, production and operations at the right time to reduce downtime and ultimately reduce costs?’
