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 ‘Must Know’ 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:
- ‘Real world’, not theoretical or based on pointless statistical analysis.
- Specifically applicable to MRO and spare parts inventory, not generic supply chain management.
- Immediately usable – simple, clear, and useful.
Because this course teaches the ‘Must Know’ tools and techniques for 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 – without confusing formulas.

The course is:
- Self-paced
- 100% online
- Available on-demand 24/7
- Includes 4 lessons
- Enables you to work through the content in ‘bite-sized’ chunks

- You just get started. It is as simple as that.
Plus,
You could complete this short-course in less than a day, but we know that you are busy and so each student has 3 months to complete the training. This allows time for follow up and refreshed understanding.
The training is provided in four lessons that are released sequentially – users cannot progress to the next lesson until they complete the current lesson.
The lessons address the four issues that are fundamental to spare parts inventory management:
- Identifying what to stock
- Deciding how many to stock
- Identifying and implementing best practice
- Minimizing disposal and obsolescence
Our ‘planning horizon’, 7 questions, and identifying critical inventory approaches make it clear what you should, and should not, hold in your inventory.
Using a simple, clear, and immediately useable approach anyone can determine the right holding level in just a few minutes.
Through extensive research we have identified the 7 best practices that make a real difference to your results.
With both ‘first-time-buy’ and ‘end-of-life’ management we show you how to avoid getting stuck with inventory you don’t want or need
