MRO Services for
Infrastructure Industries

Infrastructure industries like mining, water treatment, transportation, electrical, and others are all heavily reliant on process and equipment reliability. When a breakdown occurs, caused by weather, natural disaster, or something else, the associated downtime can wreak havoc to the tune of thousands of dollars per hour in lost production.

How Do We Help These Industries?

We work with infrastructure industries, by delivering reliability through stronger management of MRO processes and equipment. 

Common Challenges of Infrastructure Industries

  • Storerooms that are disorganized and without SOPs or controls
  • Inventory that is unchecked and growing 
  • Poor data across sites 
  • Inaccurate and inconsistent Bills of Material
  • Lack of critical spares identification
  • Inability to Integrate existing systems 
  • No Real-Time Reporting
  • Focus on Item Price vs. Total Cost of Ownership

How Do We Address These Challenges?

Our combination of strategic sourcing, storeroom management, optimized inventory, data standardization, real-time reporting, and continuous improvement, enable infrastructure industries to maintain operations while reducing material costs and improving maintenance effectiveness.

Manufacturing MRO Case Study

The Issue

Our large manufacturing client had issues tracking their inventory, leading to many duplicate and unneeded SKUs. They were wasting money and time with poor inventory control and procurement. We stepped in and found four of the same product under different brand names! The issue exposed process inefficiencies that were clearly costing the client money. We were prepared to fix their inventory management practices and address the data issues at the root of the problem. . 

Our Solution

We implemented a data program to locate all duplicate inventory and analyze their purchasing history. With this data, we were able to equip them with the correct procurement strategies to avoid purchasing duplicate products and optimize their future purchasing programs.

The Numbers

We contributed to a reduction in overall inventory by more than 30% over three  years, roughly $2 million in savings.
