Data Quality and Accuracy and MRO?
Published June 1, 2018
At Synovos, we deal with MRO data every day (see Master Data LeadershipSM). If you’re involved with your MRO supply chain you’re likely aware of the relationship between data and MRO, or more precisely, data quality and accuracy and MRO.
MyPurchasingCenter.com published a recent report describing the value high-quality data brings to an integrated MRO supply chain management program. Michael Weinberg, Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice President for Corporate Development, was among those interviewed.

That’s a small example that could extend across tens of thousands of parts that are used in a plant every year,” said Weinberg.
