ScottMadden, Inc., one of North America’s leading energy consulting firms, recently joined forces with Oniqua, the leader in MRO spares and materials inventory optimization for asset-intensive industries, to conduct a cross-industry spare parts inventory benchmarking survey. This summary shares the highlights from the survey—some expected and some surprising.
Inventory optimization is a cross-functional sport which requires the right infrastructure to improve performance, reduce cost, and boost return on equity. What are the key inventory optimization practices and performance metrics? What are the top inventory management challenges?
This report provides industry practitioners with relevant and informative data to improve their strategic approach to inventory management and optimization. By providing lessons from other companies facing similar challenges across the globe, this report offers valuable insights for those seeking to master the science of inventory optimization.
“We believe this year’s survey provides an excellent window into not only what the challenges are in managing inventory in support of industrial assets, but also the distinguishing elements of those who are performing at the top end of the industry. We’re eager to share our fresh insights to help move the needle when it comes to improving on the status quo,” said Andy Flores, partner at ScottMadden.
“Through our decades of experience, we have found that asset-intensive companies, including mining, oil and gas, utilities, and manufacturing, face common inventory management challenges,” stated Steve Herrmann, executive vice president of sales and marketing at Oniqua. “With a cross-industry perspective, this is the only benchmarking study of its kind in the industry that provides in-depth insights on how asset-intensive companies are optimizing their spare parts inventory.”
