Spare Parts Training Credibility

January 12 Phillip Slater

Subject Area: Spare Parts Training Credibility

Selecting the Best Spare Parts Management Training for You

Criterion #2: Credibility


 
Spare Parts Training Cedibility
To have credibility a website or training service must be a trusted source of information.

These days it is easy to set up a good-looking website, write up your LinkedIn profile, shoot some video, and claim some credibility. But not all experience is practical and good-looking content is not necessarily good content.

It is vital to check the long-term credentials of the people who develop and lead the training.

The founder of SparePartsKnowHow, Phillip Slater, has all the credentials you should expect; multiple university degrees, a high achieving career in maintenance and operations management, global experience, the author of nine books, adjunct presenter for multiple universities.

But his credibility really comes from being a highly trusted and sought-after consultant that delivers results. In a career that is still going strong after nearly 40 years, Phillip has long been the global ‘go-to’ guy for spare parts inventory management.

What about the longevity of the website, I hear you ask.

SparePartsKnowHow was created in 2011. We have been leading the way in spare parts inventory management training for more than a decade.

In 2012, we were awarded the Kim Rothwell Leadership in Logistics Education Award from the Logistics Association of Australia. In 2017 we were a Business Innovator Award winner.
