Spare Parts Management & Inventory Optimizatio

MRO Spare Parts Optimization

Spare parts management optimizes maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) inventory balancing availability against carrying costs. Overstocking ties up capital—$500K+ inventory per facility—while understocking causes production downtime costing $25,000/hour in manufacturing. AGM Network spare parts solutions achieve 30% inventory reduction, 98% part availability, and $2M+ annual savings.

Key Challenges:

Slow-Moving Items: 60% of parts ordered annually, 20% sit unused 5+ years
Emergency Orders: Rush shipping costs 5-10x standard procurement
Obsolescence: Equipment upgrades render 15-25% inventory obsolete
Multi-Site Stock: Lack of visibility across facilities duplicates inventory
