MRO Supply Chain in Education Facilities

Whether in an urban or rural setting, large university campuses face unique circumstances in managing MRO materials. Site access for deliveries and parts issuance; local requirements for purchasing contracts; unique needs for special events like commencements, all impact MRO strategy.

As an integrator, we understand your challenges. We build an integrated supply program that meets your needs and ensures your campus runs smoothly. We reduce the time your maintenance team spends acquiring materials. And we do it while reducing costs in the process.

Our MRO programs put you and your team in a position to act quickly on any issue. We address the most common MRO challenges and more. Things like:

  • Inconsistent data
  • Lack of critical spares identification
  • Multiple uncontrolled storeroom locations
  • No reporting capabilities

We use our $1 billion global spend to drive down your costs while delivering important benefits, including:

  • 10-15% savings on material costs across the engagement
  • Consolidated sourcing
  • Optimized inventory with parts visibility
  • Data standardization across sites
  • Value solutions initiatives
  • 25-30% total cost of ownership savings

For maintenance to be more effective, the MRO supply process must be considered a strategic element for improving operations.

Through implementation of a disciplined procurement process, we were able to peel back layers of the operation, expose savings opportunities and drive overall process improvement.
