In
production environments, business forecasts and materials inventory
levels must maintain pace with market and customer demand. MRO
inventory must be sufficiently stocked, but with relevant supplies
and accurate (minimum) levels, in order to minimize wasted expenses
and space. An efficient tool crib inventory is meant for stocking
equipment and spare parts required for running an operation such that
the tools and MRO supplies can be furnished upon demand for
applications such as replacing defunct or unusable parts of
machinery. MRO management can become an expensive process when parts
purchased in large quantities may not be required at all. An example
may be spare parts of machines that are no longer in use.
A
well planned tool crib inventory
management
process helps in reducing wasted expenses while contributing to
smoother operations with on-time delivery of critical items. The
system must be configured to provide accurate tracking of items
received, storage locations, quantities, and where dispatched.
Web-based inventory management software also has the ability to
provide this functionality and reporting simply and efficiently on
any browser enabled device, including mobile platforms. Integrated
barcode and RFID technology further builds on materials and tool
tracking capabilities. The software should provide integration
with existing applications and systems of the business.
An
ideal inventory maintenance
management software
implementation
is one that has been configured and deployed to accommodate work flow
and operations processes using a well thought methodology.
