  4. No, the site builds and extends on the material in the books.

    Importantly, the training courses and videos provide a way of accessing the information that a book just cannot replicate. Presenting material in different formats suits the different ways that people learn. Contact us for details.

  5. What can you teach me that I don’t already know?
  6. To answer this, listen to the words of Russ Thompson, and experienced MRO manager who used our resources at help him reduce inventory by 50% in 3 years.

  7. How do I join if I can’t sign up online?

  9. How do I sign up more than one team member?
  10. Visit our Enrolling at SparePartsKnowHow.com is Easy page for information on both enrollment and payment options.

  11. Do I get a discount if I sign up my whole team?
  12. at SparePartsKnowHow.com we use an exponential discount structure. This means that the more of your team you train the lower the cost per user. Visit our Group Discounts page to learn hw it works.

  13. How does SparePartsKnowHow.com compare to other options?
  14. We don’t know of any direct alternative to the resources available at SparePartsKnowHow.com. This means that your only other options involve the expense and inconvenience of in-person training. Attendance for one person at a one-day training event typically costs about double the investment to SparePartsKnowHow.com.

  15. Is online training really a substitute for in-person training?
  16. The Khan Academy has found that ‘flipping the classroom’ so that people work online at their own pace on the core materials works better than in-person training alone. The reason for this is that the ‘student’ gets to revisit the material as often as they need to and gets direct access for the entire period of the subscription. With in-person training if you don’t get it on the day you don’t get a second chance. Contact us for details.

  17. What sort of payback will we get?
  18. The reality is that the investment is pretty small when compared to the value held and spent on inventory, so just one smarter decision will provide the immediate payback. Having said that, one of our clients has come forward and publically stated that they reduced their inventory by 50% by using the resources at SparePartsKnowHow.com.

    From one perspective the key issue here is risk management and access to expert resources is one way to mitigate your risk. In addition, most companies view this membership as professional development for their personnel and this helps ensure that the company has the skills and capabilities necessary for their ongoing operations and they are getting the most from the contribution of each employee.
