7 Things That Every Senior Manager and CFO Should Know About Spare Parts Management – Part 7

March 22 spkhadmin

The information and know-how required to effectively manage a company’s spare parts operations does not reside in just one function


7. Transforming Your Spare Parts Operations Requires C-Level Engagement, Not Just Support


 
Spare Parts Operations Silos If you have read the preceding six parts to this series the reason why transformation requires C-level engagement (and not just support) should be obvious. I can sum this up in just three words: span of control.

What this series of articles has demonstrated is that the information and know-how required to effectively manage a company’s spare parts inventory does not reside in just one function.

The key functions that influence spare parts outcomes typically operate independently, with little incentive to coordinate activities in a way that improves overall business results.

This is classically known as ‘Functional Silos’ because each function reports through to a different senior manager, has their own key performance indicators that drive their own effectiveness and efficiency, and effectively operates as though the other functions are parts of different organizations.
