INVENTORY
MANAGEMENT

Inventory management is about finding the balance of inventory that allows maintenance work to be performed with minimal delays caused by the availability of materials, without keeping seldom-used items in stock. Having a forward view of expected inventory usage also allows organisations to negotiate more favourable contracts with suppliers.

Maintenance, repairs and operations inventory items are the tools, consumables and spare parts needed to complete work orders.  Having the right items available at the right time allows maintenance teams to effectively execute their set maintenance plans and schedules. As a result, businesses can reduce unplanned downtime and cut back on otherwise avoidable costs.

Clarita has helped clients to:

• Setup item catalogues, kits and supersession options
• Align inventory items, stores and purchasing processes to maintenance plans to reduce manual intervention, reduce delays in work execution and streamline procurement.
• Monitor stock levels and automatically triggering resupply when minimum thresholds are reached
• Guide stocktake processes on inventory turns and high-value items with the use of mobile devices to scan barcodes
• Maintain accurate inventory requirements on job plans
• manage rotating items through use and refurbishment
• Redesign supply chain processes and systems to minimise stockholdings and optimise logistics through a distributed stores network, ensuring that regional service technicians had access to parts when and where they were needed.
