Maintenance, Repair & Operations Management (MRO)

IHS Intermat Solutions optimize and manage MRO item descriptions and inventory.

Asset intensive organizations 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.

• Cleansing, standardizing 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™.
