Subject Area: Basic Training in Spare Parts Management
Also suitable for those with experience who want to refresh or confirm their expertise.
Our Basic Training is a self-paced course that teaches the core know-how required to manage spare parts inventory.
This course provides the fundamental know-how for people who are engaged in spare parts inventory management on a day-to-day basis.
This includes:
- Storeroom & Warehouse Personnel
- Spare Parts Management
- Supply Chain
- Procurement
- Purchasing
- Maintenance
- Planning
- Finance
Companies experience problems with their spare parts inventory because they unwittingly assume that ‘the standard’ inventory management tools and techniques apply equally to this type of inventory.
They do not.
This error of thinking is most common with people who are new to spare parts management or who have not undertaken specialist spare parts management training.
Without understanding this and the implications companies continue to experience:
- Overstocking
- Excessive obsolete inventory
- Poor parts availability
- Additional equipment downtime
These issues can be overcome once specific requirements and methodologies are understood.
The Basic Training Course teaches simple, effective, step-by-step strategies and tools to help you make better decisions and generate improvements in spare parts management.
Our content is:
- âReal worldâ, not theoretical or based on pointless statistical analysis.
- Specifically applicable to MRO and spare parts inventory, not generic supply chain management.
- Immediately usable â simple, clear, and useful.
Because this course teaches the very basics of managing spare parts inventory.
And without that insight companies will continue to experience problems.
By completing this course participants will understand the fundamentals of spare parts management, be able to identify critical spare parts and how to manage them, and how to set holding levels that are responsive to both the demand requirements and supply constraints â without confusing formulas.
