Description
Optimising the management of spare parts is a key performance driver for maintenance activities.
On the one hand, the return to service of installations after failure, and therefore their availability, depends directly on the availability of the parts that make them up. Secondly, these parts represent a major item in the maintenance budget, both in terms of purchasing and logistics costs (transport, storage, handling).
This is why we are offering this 2-day training course on the fundamentals of spare parts management.
Recommended audience
