MRO auxiliary materials such as fasteners, tools, seals, electrical accessories and lubricants are essential for factory daily operation. Unscientific inventory management easily causes overstock, waste, expiration and stockout problems. Standardized MRO management helps factories reduce costs and avoid shutdown risks.
High-frequency essential materials: screws, washers, cable ties, O-rings, grease and cleaning supplies, which require stable safety stock.
Medium-frequency maintenance materials: hand tools, pneumatic parts, terminal blocks and bearing accessories, stocked quantitatively.
Low-frequency emergency materials: special fasteners, custom seals and professional tools, stocked in small quantities or purchased on demand.
Set safety stock of 1.2 times monthly consumption for high-frequency supplies. Set quarterly stock for medium-frequency materials. Adopt zero-stock strategy for low-frequency special materials to reduce capital occupation.
Standardize material collection management. Isolate expired and damp materials. Implement old-for-new tool replacement system. Store seals and lubricants in dry and constant-temperature environment to avoid deterioration.
Purchase standard general MRO materials in batches for lower cost. Purchase non-standard and special accessories on demand to avoid overstock. The mixed procurement mode effectively reduces comprehensive operating costs.
Fine MRO inventory management solves stockout shutdown, material waste, repeated procurement and capital backlog problems, realizing cost reduction and efficiency improvement for modern factories.
