Managing Engineering Stores Can be a Costly Headache!

In a typical manufacturing or process-led environment, expenditure on spare parts and engineering materials is between 35% and 45% of the total asset care budget. Improving the use and cost of spare parts will ensure inventory is kept to a minimum and a quick turnaround is a key feature of cost management.

A complete spare parts and materials approach applied to an average situation can result in 20-25% stock level reductions and improved service levels. This is why ensuring the people who are responsible for your engineering stores are fully trained in the management of spare parts is essential to your business.
