  • IHS Intermat Solutions optimise and manage MRO item descriptions and inventory.

    Asset intensive organisations manage tens of thousands of items - spare parts, materials, chemicals, equipment and supplies - kept in stock to keep their plants and facilities up and running. This MRO inventory can represent as much as 15% of procurement spend and 75% of purchase requisitions.

    IHS Intermat helps companies optimise their indirect and MRO inventory by:
    • Cleansing, standardising and enriching MRO item descriptions using the Standard Modifier Dictionary™ (SMD™)
    • Managing item descriptions on an ongoing basis, either by providing catalog management software (Struxure™) or outsourcing daily catalog maintenance directly to IHS Intermat.
    • Adjusting inventory Order Points (OP), Order Quantities (OQ), and Lead Times (LT) – using IHS MRO Inventory Optimizer powered by xIO™.
  • Reduce Inventory, Downtime and Costs

    IHS Intermat is the only solution that offers all of the necessary components to thoroughly and accurately manage MRO item descriptions and optimise inventory.

    • Cleanse, standardize and enrich item descriptions with the only solution that incorporates both automated conversion software and item-by-item content review by experienced materials analysts.
    • Standard Modifier Dictionary™, the worldwide standard for describing MRO items, with 2,500 pre-defined formats that serve as foundation for material master standardisation.  
    • Struxure® catalog management software with integration connectors to all major ERP and EAM systems. 
    • IHS MRO Inventory Optimizer powered by xIO™, the only industry and commercially proven, web-based solution expressly designed for use with MRO inventories to dynamically monitor and adjust order points, order quantities and lead times.
    • Intermat OptiX™ analyzes the strategies, practices and analytics for the work streams associated with each asset life cycle phase, delivering a comprehensive assessment and recommendations for complete MRO supply chain management. Download the Intermat OptiX Brochure (PDF)  
  • Without clean, standardised and enriched data, companies cannot realise the full value of their EAM/ERP/MDM applications. IHS Intermat integrates with these critical business applications and enhances their capabilities to address MRO inventory and materials management.

MDM Optimized for MRO is the only cohesive solution that embodies the technical content, tools and expertise needed to manage MRO spares and optimise MRO inventory within SAP master data management (MDM).

  • Experience

    With the introduction of Intermat in 1978, IHS pioneered the standardisation of industrial MRO item information. Since then millions of parts have undergone cleansing and standardisation using Intermat. In addition, IHS employs materials analysts and project managers who have real world experience, having formerly held positions as MRO professionals.

    Capabilities

    IHS Intermat contains MRO cataloging methodology and proprietary software consisting of approximately 2,500 classification templates, 9,000 technical attributes and 30,000 values for MRO items. Certified integrations connect the IHS Intermat catalog management software with leading ERP and EAM systems, such as SAP, IBM, Maximo and JD Edwards.
