Inventory control techniques, standardisation etc.

Most organisations have problems with their stockholdings of materials needed for Maintenance, Repair and Operation - perhaps holding too much stock, or having the wrong things in stock when they are needed for safe and profitable operation of the facility. In each case, there is a cost-penalty to the company, such as money tied up in excessive stock levels, the cost of not meeting production plans, shortfalls in safety or quality.

There are many reasons why these and similar problems arise; the reasons themselves are closely inter-related.

This 5-day interactive course aims to provide practical solutions towards optimising a company's stockholding of MRO items by addressing the various factors that influence the stock-holding decision, based upon sound principles of procurement & supply management.
