The new services, combined with RS Integrated Supply’s deep supply chain expertise, enable clients to use smaller on-site teams and reduce overhead costs, improve asset lifecycle and performance, decrease total cost of ownership on production equipment, and reduce the risk of unplanned downtime and accidents.

“As the leading global provider of MRO supply chain management services, RS Integrated Supply is uniquely positioned to expand its offering to include these valuable engineering services,” said Debbie Bowring, President of RS Integrated Supply.  “These services are intended to strengthen our clients’ plant reliability and maintenance effectiveness while also strengthening their MRO supply chain.”
