Senior Management Team

Do you recognise any of these problems?

The following reflect issues highlighted by our customers prior to engagement.

“I need to reduce my operational costs.  For a company earning 5% profit on sales, if we can save £500,000 in operational savings, this is equivalent to an increase in sales of £10 million”

“Excess inventory - we are aware that there is a tremendous cost of MRO material ownership within the business.  Each penny we spend quickly adds up to a pound, then hundreds, thousands and in our case millions of pound of excess inventory.  The questions we are asking is why is it so high, where is it physically and what purpose does it serve”

“For an asset-intensive organisation such as ours, MRO inventory is 17% of total enterprise spend and 70% of requisitions. This makes MRO inventory a key cost savings opportunity, since reducing MRO inventory spend by even a couple of percent can increase cash flow by millions of pounds.”

“We're watching margins and every percentage point counts.  Whilst we are excellent in driving value from our raw material supply chain, we don’t effectively manage our MRO.  As this category is fundamental to OEE, we have to address as a matter of urgency”

“Customer audits are focusing increasingly on our ability to keep our primary assets running. As part of this they are interrogating our spares availability and Maintenance stores operation.  At the back of my mind there's a nagging doubt as to whether stores can support the promises we make to our customers – it’s becoming apparent this is our weakest link”

“We’re a World Class manufacturer.  Our control of our machines spares on the other hand isn’t.  I know this when I see the number of line stops caused by stock outs of even the most inexpensive, proprietary parts”

“I want to get to the bottom of stores shrinkage; are we losing stock due to theft, waste or both?"
