The Problem
Struggling with missing parts when it’s time to start a maintenance work order?
You know the parts were ordered. Receiving remembers seeing the critical part you can’t find. You checked inventory before the work order was created and the parts weren’t needed anywhere else, but now no one seems to know where the parts are.

Having trouble determining how many parts you really require?
At planning time, you know you have work orders that require a part and you know you have the part in inventory, but somehow, when it’s time to start work, there’s always a shortfall in parts.
Setting parts aside for work order and then the parts never get used?
In the meantime, you need the same parts for another more critical order and releasing the parts from one order to allocate to the more critical order is difficult and time consuming.
Constantly rescheduling your maintenance work orders because the parts aren’t available or didn’t show up?
Your maintenance schedulers are going crazy and you’re incurring a lot of unproductive skilled labour cost because you are scheduling around parts availability problems. And work still doesn’t get completed on schedule because parts are still missing.

The Solution
At RMB, we have solved all of these problems for our clients. Now we have distilled all of our knowledge into one solution designed to solve maintenance part availability problems and more.
| |
Maintenance organizations continually struggle with ensuring all parts are available and in inventory before work orders are released. The problem is that most solutions like kitting the work order before starting work introduce as many problems as they solve.
We have all seen kits “raided” because a more critical problem has occurred than the original work order was meant to solve, but if you don’t kit for work orders, the parts seem to disappear even faster. Maintenance organizations kit to make sure they have the parts and then often wish they hadn’t kitted when the parts are required elsewhere.
