Learn to Reduce Inventory Costs and Gain Control of Parts & Materials!

Course Description/Agenda


Purpose of Seminar:

Inventory Control for Maintenance means having the right product and materials when you need it and where you need it. Having too much material, not enough material or having to search for the material leads to higher costs and can mean longer downtimes, not to mention the frustration!

This course focuses on building an inventory management system that will lead to better control through optimization of inventory quantities, organization of inventory and access to inventory. Having the right data and implementing procedural controls for your inventory will help maximize the value of every dollar spent on maintenance and reduce the time it takes to have the right part on hand when you need it.

By the end of this seminar, students will be able to go back to their facility and immediately apply what they learned to help implement a system that organizes their inventory and lowers their inventory costs. Training like this never costs-it pays!
